Kilhilt may have originally been Kilhille or "chapel on the hill" which, according to tradition, was a monastic establishment over which Bishop Adair presided who made the addition of a library to the convent. Whilst the library was being built he had a lintel stone with a Bible and a sword engraved on it, built into the wall over the door. The sceptical are advised to visit the farm-steading of Colfin, where the identical stone, spoiled from the ruins of the old castle, may now be seen in a barn wall. (1894.
