| OLD CHURCH (in ruins)(continued) | Old Kirk (in Ruins) | 034 | [Continued] "All these are gone but we may still trace them partly in their foundations, partly as portions of houses, partly as used for building materials or kept as ornaments. The Chancel has been preserved being used by parishioners till of late years as their place of worship. It was built upon the site of much more ancient buildings which had been the crypt as it would seem of an extensive Church for there are large Vaults around of old & rude Masonry which rise higher than the chancel floor. They must have been part of the original Church of St Ninian of the 4th century or built by the Saxons in the 8th Century. (See next page) |
