Old Photograph Kirkmadryne Church Scotland
Old photograph of Kirkmadryne Church, Rhins of Galloway , Wigtownshire, Scotland. This Scottish parish church was in the old parish of Toskerton now generally called Kirmadrine, which was united to Stoneykirk in 1618. The old church was dedicated to St Medran of Muskerry and belonged to Whithorn Priory. The church there is now a memorial to the MacTaggarts of Ardwell. The 19th Century, Romanesque style burial chapel stands on the site of what is thought to be, one of the earliest Christian communities in Scotland. It was built for Lady MacTaggart Stewart of Ardwell and during its construction, older stones which date back to the 5th Century AD were discovered. The first tablet in the Chapel is n memory of Edward Orde MacTaggart Stewart of Ardwell, 2nd Baronet of Southwich and his wife Margaret. Elder daughter of the 3rd Baron and Baroness of Donington. The second tablet in the Chapel is dedicated to the Right Honorable Archibald Patrick Thomas, 17th Baron of Borthwick. The third tablet in the Chapel is dedicated to Lady Marianne Susanna MacTaggart Stewart of Ardwell.
