Craigie, Parish Church and Burial-ground NS 4273 3231 NS43SW 25
The medieval parish church of Craigie stood in the walled burial-ground now occupied by the present church (built in 1776). All that remains visible of the medieval building is a fragment of what was probably a S aisle (5.8m by 4.5m overall, with walls up to 0.75m high, 0.75m thick and rising from a chamfered ground-course) incorporated in a recent burial-enclosure. A number of 18th-century gravestones are situated on the S side of the church. About 1177 the church was granted to Paisley Abbey by Walter Hose.
