County of Ayr
No. 21
Parish of Dundonald
"Tradition Says that a chapel once existed at a place called Chapel
hill, close by the mansion of Hillhouse. The ground which is now covered
with wood, has still some traces of such an erection. In the garden
wall, which was built nearly a century ago, the Font Stone is still pointed
out. Such a tradition, even without any visible evidence , may almost
be viewed as a certainty, from the history of the age to which it
refers; when every baron of any wealth or influence, was a kirk builder on
his own account, and prided himself in having his private chapel.
And the McKerrells were influential enough at that time to lay claim
to such a piece of religious state." New Stat. Acct. [Statistical Account]
