Ayr kirk session serves what is now known as the Auld Kirk of Ayr (St John the Baptist). Ayr was a medieval parish whose rectory was one of the prebends of Glasgow Cathedral. In 1652 the original church was demolished apart from the tower, and replaced by a much smaller and plainer structure (the Old Church), which was itself replaced in 1810. It is in Ayr presbytery and was in the synod of Glasgow and Ayr until the reorganisation of 1929, thereafter in the synod of Ayr. Synods were abolished in 1993. |
