Parish notes

The parish kirk was made collegiate in 1398 on petition of Archibald earl of Douglas, the parsonage and vicarage fruits being assigned to the provostry with which they continued, while cure was served by a vicar pensioner (GRH Vat. Trans. ii, 30 ff; Ass. cited OPS i, 54-5; Reg. of Pres. ii, 52). Cowan 1967, 21.
