(Kilbride, Isles). One of the two parish churches of Arran, the church of St Bride was granted by John of Menteith, lord of Arran and Knapdale, to Kilwinning c. 1337, this being confirmed by David II in 1364, Robert III (1390 x 1406) and by Pope Benedict XIII in 1407/8. Nevertheless, the patronage lay with the crown in 1437, probably passing to James, lord Hamilton with the earldom of Arran in 1503, and being confirmed to that earldom in in 1540. The grant may, however, have been common form as neither church is designated by name, and both parsonage and vicarage teinds appear to have been annexed by this date to the bishops of the Isles, who held them at the Reformation.
