There is now no trace of the old church of Glenelg, apparently dedicated to St. Comgan. (M E M Donaldson 1920) It seems to have stood on the right bank of a small stream falling into the bay of Glenelg near the village of Kirktown, where the modern church is also situated. There appears to be no notice of the old church previous to the Reformation. (Orig Paroch Scot 1854)
