Notes

NGR is the 18th century parish church of Old Cumnock, which is the likely original site of the medieval parish church. One reference indicates that the church was dedicated to St Conval; the church no longer bears his name as such, though a local school rejoices in the name of St Conval's High School. The Register of Testaments in the Commissariot of Glasgow (Vol. I.) records a will which stipulates: 'Lego corpus meum sepeliendum in pulveribus Sancti Convalli de Cumnok' [I assign my body to be buried in the dust of St. Convall of Cumnock] (cited by Forbes Kalendars of Scot. Saints).
