 In some cases the personal name "Amhlaigh"/Amhlaidh is a Gaelicisation of the Old Norse name "Óláfr", so Kilaulay could possibly be dedicated to a Norse "Olaf".The RCAHMS lists Kilaulay as the site of where a chapel and burial ground once stood.In the 19th century publication "Origines Parochiales Scotiae", a chapel is said to have once stood at "Kileulay" ("Kilaulay").
