Parish notes
The Trinitarian house of Fail stood within this parish, and the entire parochial revenues, which certainly pertained to that house in 1498, must have been annexed on its foundation before 1335 (Cowan & Easson 1976, 109; Prot. Bk. Simon, no.85). The appropriation remained effective, while the church was served by a curate (MS Rental Book, 48, 51-2, cited Chalmers, Caledonia vi, 516; Thirds 95). Cowan 1967, 14. On its dissolution the parish of Barnweil was divided between those of Craigie and Tarbolton
