"The Church Stood on Newholmhope near
the head of the glen, until the middle of the Seventeenth
Century, when it was removed to its Present site, in
the lower district of the Parish. It was Known as,
'Saint Gordians Kirk', or 'Saint Gorghain's Chapel',
from its dedication Either to St Gordian who was beheaded
at Rome under Julian the Apostate, About the year
362 or to St Gorgon, a eunuch of the Imperial
Palace, who was martyred under Dioclesian about
the year 300. The feast of Saints Gordian and
Epimachus, Martyrs, was Kept by the Scottish
Church on the tenth of May; that of St Gorgon, Martyr,
on the ninth of September - Of the Ancient Church in
the year 1715, nothing was to be seen but the rubbish
