017 | The ruins of an Old Chapel, the east end of which is roofed, and occupied as a burial Vault. "Of the subordinate chapel at Kilmahew, not much more is known than can now be ascertained about the parish church itself. David II conferred the lands, and also the chapel upon Roger Cochrane, but early in the 15 Century they appear to have been in the possession of the Napiers, who held them for many succeeding generations. In 1467, the Chapel seems to have been rebuilt in May of that year. George Bishop of Argyle in mitre & pontificals and with the full permission of the Bishop of Glasgow, consecrated a Chapel and Cemetry there dedicated to St. Mahew and granted in name and by consent of Duncan Napier & James Napier his heir 40 Shillings and tenpence."
