"The Church of Dalmellington originally stood in the
" centre of the ground still used as the churchyard ** A new church
" was built in a different part of the town in 1766; but, from the dampness
" of the foundation, & the smallness of the accommodation, it never was
" comfortable - a splendid church, however, a short distance of the town, on a
" fine commanding position, has just been built"
