Old photograph of the ruins of Kirkdominae on a broad terrace above the River Stinchar near Barr, Ayrshire, Scotland. The remains of a pre-Reformation chapel dedicated to the Holy Trinity. Some of the names for the church including; Kildomine and Kildamnie, suggest an early origin for the site but nothing is known of its history except that in 1650 Kirkdandie was directed to be demolished to provide material for the building of a new church at Barr. Next to the chapel there are the fragmentary remains of the farmstead of Kirkdominae, abandoned between 1856 and 1894. The Fair of Kirkdandy was held here on the last Sunday in May.
