Parish notes
An independent parsonage of which the patronage pertained to the lords of Annandale. it thus passed from the family of Bruce to that of Douglas, and on their forfeiture, to the crown, although in practice this was normally exercised by their sub-vassals, who in the 15th c. were the Kirkpatricks of Closeburn, and in the 16th c. the Carruthers of Mousewald. RMS iv no. 1440 + other refs. Cowan 1967, 162.
