Old Photograph Kirkbride Scotland

Old photograph of the old Kirkbride parish church and cemetery, South Ayrshire, Scotland. A pre-reformation, now ruined, church, which ceased to be used for regular public worship many years ago. This Scottish church is said to have been founded by the Earl of Carrick in 1193. The parish was united with Maybole soon after 1571. During the late 12th century or early 13th century, the church was granted to the nunnery of North Berwick by Duncan of Carrick; by 1408-9 it was a pendicle of the church at Maybole. The parish was united with Maybole shortly after 1571.
