Dalry (Ayrshire) kirk session
A church court that sat within the presbyteries of Irvine and Ardrossan and the synod of Glasgow and Ayr. The vicarage of Dalry belonged of old to the Abbey of Kilwinning and the session records ministry from 1564. The parish church was removed to a new site in 1608 and was rebuilt in 1771 and again in 1871-73. In 1896 portions of the parishes of Dalry, Kilwinning and Ardrossan were disjoined to form the quoad sacra parish of West Dalry.Records available
