The gift of the Kirk land in the parish may be traced as far back as the reign of Robert 2nd who by a Charter dated the 16th June 1373 Confirms a Charter by Walter de Menteith de Pedinacalan to the Virgin Mary and the Parish Church of St. Devenick of Methlick and the Vicar of the Same of a piece of land called the Haulch bounded on the one Side by the Water of Ethyon [Ythan], stretching on one hand from the ford of the burn of Melok to the ford which is called Clochy at the other.
