[Supposed Site of St Nicholas's Church - continued from page 11]
"The old parish church was dedicated to St. Nicholas. It stood on the northern side of the village of Strathbrock seven hundred yards northeast from the mansion house of Kirkhill. It seems of old to have been of considerable value and in the ancient taxation it is rated at forty marks. The church was a rectory in early times.
"The inscription on the bell if the old church is "Campanium Santi Nicholai de Stratbroke 1441," This bell which was removed from its ancient steeple to the New Church at Uphall clearly proves that the church was dedicated to St. Nicholas,"
