[Reverend] William Gebbie. Dunlop. that there is no tradition respecting it, which can be relied on. No vestige of it now remains, the ruins having been entirely removed about 25 or 30 years ago, & the ground cultivated.
OS1/3/26/12 [Page] 12 Parish of Dunlop "In the vicinity of Dunlop village there was in former times, "a Chapel dedicated to the Virgin Mary, which had an appropriate " endowment, for the Support of a Chaplain. After the reformation, "this Chapel was allowed to fall to ruins, but the remains of it are "still to be Seen". Chalmers Caledonia 3rd Vol. [Volume] Page 556 At a place called the Chapel Craigs, about a mile from the Village of Dunlop, there existed until lately the ruins of a Chapel, which was dedicated to the Virgin Mary, It is not known whether this was the parish Church before the Reformation, or a Chapel distinct from it." Paterson's Hist. [History] of Ayr.
OS1/3/26/12A 008 16 -- Dunlop [Page] 12a Stewarton, 8th. Feby. [February] 1856 Sir I have made enquiry respecting the "Burying Ground and Pathway" mentioned in Patersons History of Ayr. but have not obtained any satisfactory information respecting them. The Revd. [Reverend] William Gebbie recommended me to apply to George Howie (an old man residing in Dunlop village) but he had never heard of any Burying Ground being near the Chapel; but said that near it there was a sort of path by which the summit of the rocks could be reached. I made a survey of the place a trace of which is enclosed. At C there is a hollow place in the rocks, by which a kind of shelf or terrace is reached, this leads upwards & in some places from Capt. [Captain] Bayley R.E. [Royal Engineers] [Continued]

New Stat Acct. [Statistical Account] Peterson's Hist. [History ] of Ayr 008 This name applies to a large detached stone or boulder. lying in a field on the Farm of Brandleside. The tradition in the locality respecting it is That those who attended at the Chapel which formerly stood in the vicinity were in the habit of performing part of their devotions here, and went round it on their knees repeating a prayer commencing with the words "O Thou Grit Stane", or "Thou grit stane" which name it still retains. No person to whom I have spoken on the subject pronounce it Thugartsone as in the Statistical Accnt. [Account]. The tenant of the farm is bound in his lease not to disturb it.
OS1/3/26/13 [Page] 13 Parish of Dunlop "Thougritstane" Supposed to be a corruption of "The gret Stane " "A few hundred yards southwest of the Site of the Chapel, on the gentle swell of the hill is a "Druidical stone, called the Thugart stane, supposed to be a corruption of the grit stane. "It appears at one time or other to have been a rocking stone. The base is so covered with rubbish, that " "it has now lost its vibratory motion. It lies on the farm of Brandleside and the tenant is bound " in his tack to protect it, by neither removing it, nor adulterating the ground for a considerable number of square yards around it".

"The walls at the base are upwards of seven feet thick". "In ancient times it was surrounded with a moat". Paterson's History. "Aiket Castle, about a mile South of the church is now the oldest building in the parish. The date of its erection is not exactly known; but as a considerable branch of the Cunninghame family possessed the property of which it was the mansion for some centuries preceding 1700, about which time it passed into other hands, we may assign to it a very respectable antiquity. It consisted originally of a square tower, vaulted on the ground floor, & four or five storeys high". New Statistical Account

Mr. George Howie said he had heard "that it was a place where pipes were laid for the conveyance of water up to the Castle". It is thus mentioned in a book called the "Bard of Glazert" written by J.D. Brown, belonging to Dunlop. "On the east side of the hill there are the remains of a deep trench, cut from the top, half way down its side, in a straight line, which strongly reminds one of the remains on similar places of ancient fortifications; but from the nature of the ground, it would appear the trench had probably been made under different circumstances".
