NEWTYLE, a '''parish''', in the county of Forfar; 2¼ miles (S. by E.) from Meigle. This place is conjectured to have taken its name from the slate, or material for tiles, found in the hills of the parish. The church accommodates 550 persons with sittings, but is a very plain edifice, erected in 1767. There is a place of worship for members of the '''United Secession'''.<ref>Lewis, Samuel A., ''[http://www.british-history.ac.uk/report.aspx?compid=43467#s37 A Topographical Dictionary of Scotland]'' (1846), pp. 499-514. Adapted. Date accessed: 6 June 2014.</ref> | |||
