Church Overview
Written records go back to 1190 since when three churches have stood on the site. The pillars of the 1500 church were used in the present building (1741-6), raided by Bonnie Prince Charlie in 1745. Robert Burns worshipped here until his untimely death; his wife Jean Armour continued to worship for a further 38 years. This beautiful church has a fine collection of stained glass, some dating back to 1800. The Archangel St Michael overlooks the congregation from the front of the Willis organ. A wonderful church full of history and a warm welcome awaits visitors.
