"When the monastery of Kilwining was founded
"in 1140, the ancient church of Kilwinning, which had existed before
"that time, was granted to the Monks; & continued to belong to them,
" till the Reformation." "When the extensive buildings of this abbey
"were demolished, in 1560, the walls of the church were left standing:
"and they were afterwards repaired, & fitted up, for a parish church,
"And as Such Served the parish till 1773, when this building was pulled
"down, and a new parish church was built, in the place
"where it stood." Chamber's Caledonia Vol. [Volume] 3. p. [page] 548 - J.b.G
