Scope and Content Parish Church, Catrine, East Ayrshire This village was founded in 1787 by David Dale and Sir Claud Alexander of Ballochmyle round a cotton-spinning mill. A bleachworks was added later, and the power system of the mills remodelled in about 1827, and again in 1947. This shows the village church, built in 1793 as a 'chapel of ease' of Sorn Parish Church, to save the mill workers from having to walk to Sorn for public worship. This is one of the earliest and finest 'Gothick' churches in Scotland, its quality reflecting the architectural taste of the Dale/Alexander partnership, also seen in the design of the main spinning mill, the finest building of its kind in Scotland.
