CARMYLIE, a '''parish''', in the county of Forfar, 6 miles (W. by N.) from Arbroath; containing the hamlet of Graystone. The name is supposed to be derived from a Celtic word, signifying "the top of a high rocky place," which description answers to a castle formerly standing here. The church, which is ancient, is conveniently situated, and is a substantial building, accommodating 500 persons. A congregation has been formed here in connexion with the '''Free Church'''.<ref>Lewis, Samuel A., ''[http://www.british-history.ac.uk/report.aspx?compid=43425#s51 A Topographical Dictionary of Scotland]'' (1846), pp. 499-514.
