Kintrae
57.6717462°N 3.3831148°W Kintrae is a hamlet in the parish of Spynie, Moray, Scotland, originally located on the southern shore of Loch Spynie. The name is Celtic, meaning “the top of the tide”.
Kintrae was the site of a church that was already being described as ancient ("veteri ecclesia de Kyntra") in a charter of 1203 to 1222. This was probably connected to nearby Inchagarty ("Island of the Priest"), which lies 0.5 km to the west of Kintrae on a slight rise, and would originally have been an island in the loch.
