OS 1:10,000 map, 1982.
The church of Dungreioch, Drumgreioch, Dungree or Dumgree was granted to the monks of Kelso by Walter de Carnock in the 12th century. (Chart. Kelso) After the Reformation the parish was suppressed and annexed largely to Johnstone, and the church came to the crown.
G Chalmers 1890; F H Groome 1903.
Dungree or Dumgree belonged to the Abbey of Kelso and was united to Kirkpatrick-Juxta (NT00SE 60) in the 17th century.
H Scott 1915-61.
Dungree (Glasgow, Nithsdale). Also known as Drumgeioch, the church was granted by Walter de Carnato to Kelso c. 1180 and confirmed to the uses of the abbey by Walter, Bishop of Glasgow. A vicarage was erected thereafter, the parsonage teinds continuing with the abbey at the Reformation, although the revenues appear to have been mainly devoted to the use of the cell of Lesmahagow.
