Kilchrist, an ancient parish of SE Ross-shire, now annexed to Urray. Its ruined church, a little N of the Muir of Ord, adjacent to the boundary with Inverness-shire, was the scene in 1603 of the merciless burning of a whole congregation of the Mackenzies by the Macdonells of Glengarry, whose piper marched round the building, mocking the shrieks of its hapless inmates with the pibroch since known, under the name of 'Kilchrist,' as the family tune of the Clanranald of Glengarry.—Ord. Sur., sh. 83, 1881.
