Site Detail:  
  Kirkcormack is one of the earlier churches in the Stewartry, lying within the jurisdiction of Abbey of Iona until the late 12th century when Uchtred, Lord of Galloway grants the church to the abbey of Holyrood.

There is very little known about the church, and it is not until 1546 that we have then name of a vicar, Herbet Dun, who resigned and appears to have gone to Holyrood Abbey. He was succeeded by Robert Forrestar, who in 1585 fued the ecclesiastical lands of Kirkcormack to his brother Robert Forrestar.
