Kinnaird (Scottish Gaelic: An Ceann Àrd, "high headland") is a neighbourhood comprising the southern part of Castlegar, British Columbia.
Formerly named West Waterloo, it was an original station on the Columbia and Western Railway opened in 1897.
[2] This could align with a suggestion that a Canadian Pacific Railway (CP) official provided the name in honour of a place in Scotland.
Alfred Joseph Kinney and Frank Kinert were early CP employees listed in the Castegar directory.
Being an obscure railway point at the time, no theory of the name origin appears more plausible than another.
