Kirkcudbright kirk session

A church court that sat within the presbytery of Kirkcudbright, and the synod of Galloway. The church of Kirkcudbright was dedicated to St Cuthbert and was granted to the Abbey of Holyrood in the twelfth century. During the thirteenth century the Grey Friars, or Franciscans, founded a Friary in Kirkcudbright which was suppressed at the reformation, and in 1564 the Friary church became the parish church. The ancient parishes of Galtway and Dunrod were united to Kirkcudbright in 1663.
