Linked to St Fillan, Kinghorn was historically associated with a medieval chapel and hospital, reflecting a tradition of religious care and pilgrimage common in early Christian Scotland. The site may have been part of a broader network of holy places connected to St Fillan, a 7th-century Irish monk known for founding monastic settlements and healing wells in Perthshire.
