Parish notes
Originally a chapel of Kirkton, Stirling; it passed with its mother church, Eaglais Ninian, to Cambuskenneth by the grant of Robert, bishop of St Andrews, 1140 x 1158; in 1163 Pope Alexander III confirmed the chapel of Dunipace Castle to Dunfermline, leading to a controversy between Dunfermline and Cambuskenneth, with final decision for the latter. It achieved parochial status by 1426/7 (Cowan 1967, 52).
