Inverkeilor

Inverkeilor

Inverkeilor is a village and parish in Angus, Scotland. It lies near the North Sea coast, midway between Arbroath and Montrose. The A92 road now bypasses the village.

The population of Inverkeilor parish in the United Kingdom Census 2001 was 972, up from 902 in 1991. The population has been accommodated in recent years by the building of new houses in the village.

Inverkeilor Primary School had an enrollment of 76 pupils at the beginning of the 2005–2006 school year, it's current head teacher is Jennifer Milne. Not so long ago the school had an extension added and solar panels put on the roof.

The parish was previously known as "Conghoillis", and Watson writes that it was dedicated to a Saint Mo Chonóc of Cell Mucroisse, who may be associated with Forteviot or St Andrews, or perhaps County Wexford in Ireland.

The 12th century Red Castle built the Barclay family is to the east of Inverkeilor, overlooking Lunan Bay. In between Red Castle and Inverkeilor are farms and fields. To the south-west is Ethie Castle, formerly the seat of the Earl of Northesk, which appears under the name of "Knockwinnoch" in Sir Walter Scott's novel "The Antiquary".

Inverkeilor currently has a pub called The Chance Inn, a restaurant called Gordon's and a post office. It also has a large public park with football goals, a disused tennis court and public toilets.

At the edge of Inverkeilor is a railway and it goes past Inverkeilor's old railway station which closed due to lack of business.
