The Remains of the Graveyard are Indicated by Several Tombs which are still preserved, by the original Extent of the Enclosure cannot be traced The Church is supposed to have been Erected about the Ninth Century, but whether dedicated to any Saint is not Known. The Parish Records go no further back than 1705, and the minister has only been here a few years: Mr Palmer, whom I consulted, is Session Clerk. There is nothing Known of its Ancient History but what is recorded in the several published accounts |

"The ancient church stood about half a mile to the west of the present one within what
is now the park of Kirkurd house (or Castle Craig) where its ruins and cemetery were to be
Seen at the end of the last century. A plentiful Spring flows beside it and in the
neighourhood are two mounds or barrows the one called The Castle and the other The Law surrounded
by an irregular dyke or parapet". -- Origines Parochiales Scotiae vol [volume] 1 page 186
"It would appear that the church of Kirkurd must have been a vicarage in Roman
Catholic times for we are told that in 1477 William Chamber, the Vicar of Kirkurd granted
some lands in the manor of Corstorphine and various annual rents for supporting a chaplain
to officiate at St Ninian's Altar in Corstorphine church and that this endowment was confirmed
in 1477 by James III." -- New Stat. Acct. [Statistical Account] of Peebleshire, page 132 |

This name applies to a Small Knowe of a very peculiar Shape and having every appearance of being formed into its present Shape by Art. It is Situated a short distance N.W. [North West] from Ladyurd in a loop of the Ladyurd Burn. Its top is quite level, of an Elliptical shape, with the sides sloping all around at about an angle of 45° towards the Stream, beyond which the bank again rises to about the same height as the top of the Knowe. At the S.E. [South East] side of the level top is a small Rampart and fronting this is a steep brae formed into three tier of Slopes rather defaced There is a Vague Tradition that it is the site of a church probably from its name. It has more the appearance of the old Terraces; but there is nothing Known about it in the Parish |
