Notes
Highland Papers iv, 142 cites the Charters of the Abbey of Crossraguel, p. 37: In the parish of Barr, on the Stinchar, called at various times Kildinine, Kildamonie and Kundamonie, the ruins of the Chapel still exist, but the date of its erection is unknown. The celebrated "Kirkdamie Fair" has from time immemorial been held at this place on the last Saturday of May, but is now little more than a gathering of farmers in the neighbourhood.' The remains of the chapel still stand to a maximum 7 metres in height (the west gable) (NMRS). OS Digimap shows Kirkdominae Croft (NX251927) and Kirkdominae Hill (NX249929) nearby.
