Kirkhill (Scottish Gaelic: Cnoc Mhoire, meaning "Big Hill") is a small village and civil parish in the Highland council area of Scotland.
[2] The village of Kirkhill encompasses the historic parish of Wardlaw to its north, the two areas merging in 1618.
[4] Kirkhill is home to the Wardlaw Mausoleum, built in 1634 as the resting ground for the Chiefs of Clan Fraser of Lovat and used by the family until the early 19th century.
After his execution for the part he played in the Jacobite rebellion, legend had it the Lord Lovat's body was moved in secret, from the Church of St Peter ad Vincula in London to the family mausoleum.
However, analysis of his supposed skeleton by the University of Dundee in 2018, declared the bones were of a young woman.
