OS Name Book (27, 58) explains the name thus: ‘A large projecting rock ... on which it is said the bell belonging to the Church at Kilgour was placed. This information I have received [?][65] from Mr Morgan, Kilgour’. It does stand near the old kirk, but generally speaking names containing bell refer to shape rather than function (see bell and clag in Elements Glossary PNF 5).
