Parish notes

Confirmed by John bp. of Galloway (1189 x 1206) to the uses of Holyrood as grant of David son of Terrus, the parsonage fruits appear to have been devoted to the use of the dependent cell of St Mary's Isle from the earliest times to the Reformation, while the cure was a vicarage perpetual. Holyrood Lib., no. 49 etc. See Cowan 1967, 7. A small part of Kirkdale KXJ q.v. was annexed to the parish in 1636 (the bulk going to Kirkmabreck KKK). The medieval boundary between Kirkdale and Anwoth was probably the Auchenlarie Burn.
