Kilbirnie -- Parish -- [Sheet 7, Plan 8, Trace 6] -- [page] 93"The parish of Kilbirnie derived its
"name from this parish Church, and
"the Church obtained its name from the
"Saint to whom it was dedicated (viz)
St Birnie or Birinius" Chalmer's Caledonia
"This Church is the most ancient, and in some respects, the most
" interesting ecclesiastical fabric extant in the west of Scotland
" the body of the edifice, a simple oblong, 65 feet in the length and 29
" feet and a half in breadth, must have been built Considerably
" prior to the reformation, for the Glengarnock aisle attached to its
" southeast extremity is evidently a modern addition though
" bearing the date 1597. It was dedicated to St Birnie or Birinius"
