The original parish church was founded around 1120 and sat north of the River Annan. The area was historically known as Abermilk, signifying the convergence of the Water of Milk and the River Annan and later Castlemilk. In 1174, Robert de Bruce confirmed the church to the Bishop of Glasgow. In the 17th century, the parish officially adopted the name of Saint Mungo, also known as Kentigern, the 6th-century patron saint of Glasgow. In the 1840s, a new parish church was built closer to Kettleholm. However, by the 1870s, it was converted into the St Mungo Primary School to make way for a grander building. The present St Mungo’s Parish Church was built between 1875 and 1877 under the wealthy patronage of the Right Honourable Robert Jardine MP of Castlemilk. It was designed by the celebrated Scottish architect David Bryce in the Late Scots Gothic style. Built using buff rock-faced sandstone, the church features a distinct box design with a north-east tower and a prominent western entrance porch. The porch is ornately decorated with corner buttresses, crocketed pinnacles, and grotesque carved heads.
