ARBIRLOT, a '''parish''', in the county of Forfar, 2½ miles (W.) from Arbroath; containing the village of Bonnington. This place appears to have derived its name, a contraction of Aber-Elliot, from the river Elliot, which runs into the sea a little below its eastern boundary. The church, rebuilt in 1832, is an elegant structure, situated on the bank of the Elliot, and containing about 640 sittings. A place of worship has been erected by members of the '''Free Church'''.<ref>Lewis, Samuel A., ''[http://www.british-history.ac.uk/report.aspx?compid=43417#s14 A Topographical Dictionary of Scotland]'' (1846), pp. 499-514.
