026 | [situation] About 1 3/8 Miles West from Colinsburgh. The ruins of the old parish church of Newburn, which was disused as a place of worship in 1815, when the modern church was erected. The date of its foundation is unknown; but it is believed to be of high antiquity. At its western end is a small belfry, purporting by the date to have been erected in 1733. The revenues of this church were paid partly to the Abbey of Dunfermline, and partly to the Culdee establishment at Balchrystie. It is surrounded by a small grave yard. |

[Note] This old church was the parish church at the time the Old Stat. Acct. [Statistical Account] was written. In Vol [Volume] 16 page 135 it is said "There are vestiges of the East part of the church having been a Roman Catholic Chapel."
