history |
Kirkcolm Church was dedicated to St Columba and it formerly belonged to the Abbey of Sweetheart. Ministry of the Kirkcolm Kirk Session is recorded from 1565 in the person of Michael Hathorn. In 1950 Kirkcolm united with Ervie under the name of Ervie and Kirkcolm. After the union both churches remained in use and in 1985 the united session established a link with Leswalt. The kirk session sat within the Presbytery of Stranraer until 1963 when, by Act of Assembly, the Presbytery of Wigtown and the Presbytery of Stranraer were united together under the name of the Presbytery of Wigtown and Stranraer. |
