Kirkinch, meaning 'kirk (church) on the island' in Scots and Gaelic, is a small village in Angus, Scotland.
[1] The 'island' is the knoll on which stand the remains of the late 16th century Nevay Church and its medieval burial ground.
The village houses are adjacent to the knoll, which is encompassed by the wall of the old churchyard.
Some of the earliest history of the local area is represented approximately two kilometres northwest at the village of Eassie, where the Eassie Stone is displayed in a modern transparent shelter in the ruined former parish church; this finely carved Pictish cross-slab probably dates to the first half of the 8th century (Historic Scotland; accessible at all times).
A simple disc-headed cross-slab found here is on display at the Meffan Institute in Forfar.
