Kilrenny Parish Records - work
in progress
The church of Kilrenny, which was rebuilt in
1806-1808,
formerly belonged to the Abbey of Dryburgh and held a dedication to St
Ernan of Eileach Naomh. The kirk session of Kilrenny, which established
a link with Cellardyke in 1988, sits within the Presbytery of St
Andrews.
The parish of Cellardyke, the parish church of which
was dedicated in 1881, was disjoined from that of Kilrenny and erected
quoad sacra on the 28th March, 1883. The kirk session, which
established a link with Kilrenny in 1988, sits within the Presbytery of
St Andrews.
