Sources

Bho Chill-rudha 1895 Orain le Iain Lom Mac-Dhomhnaill, 90
Uchd an tùir: Robertson

“…I heard a Kintyre man speak of Kilarow, as Kilaroo with the accent on the last syllable. This is really Kil-mhael-rubha as we know historically, and the local pronunciation preserves the essential truth long after the form of the word has lost it and becomes even misleading.” Cameron Gillies, Campbeltown Courier 5.5.1900

Additional Information

Robertson’s form is presumably a secondary form.
