Inch Church.
The ruins of this church are situated within the grounds of Lochinch Castle, belonging to the Earl of Stair, 3 m. to the E. of Stranraer, and are now used as a private burial-ground. The building lies almost due N. and S., and is on plan an oblong structure with a projecting aisle to the E. It measures 75' from N. to S. by 27' from E. to W. The aisle projects 27' from the face of the E. wall, and is 20' wide over all. The walls of the church are only 2' 4” to 2' 6” in thickness, and are pierced by numerous round-arched windows. On the W., N., and E. walls are outside stairs which have led to the lofts or galleries. The main building was entered by doors in the N. and S. gables. It appears to date from the end of the 17th century, and although roofless, the walls are in a good state of repair.
In the churchyard adjacent, the earliest stone observed was dated 1697.
