Kirk sessions are local church courts, the lowest courts in the Church of Scotland and other presbyterian churches. The records of kirk session meetings, decisions and transactions are normally hand-written.

Irvine kirk session

A church court that sat within the presbytery of Irvine, later of Kilmarnock and the synod of Glasgow and Ayr. The old church of Irvine, which was rebuilt in 1774, belonged, prior to the reformation, to the Abbey of Kilwinning and held a dedication to St Inan. Part of the parish was removed in 1886 to form the quoad sacra parish of Fergushill.
