Parish notes

A parsonage in Bag. (p.75), the church remained unappropriated at the Reformation, the patronage in 1547 being in dispute between the MacDowells of Freugh and the McDowells of Garthland, the latter eventually triumphing. RSS iii no. 301; Retours nos. 20, 96. See Cowan 1967, 189 for more refs. Includes Clayshant CHX and Toskerton or Kirkmadryne TOX.
