Old Dailly, Old Parish Church and Burial-ground NX 225 993 NX29NW 1 & 2
The remains of the old parish church of Dailly stand in the burial-ground at Old Dailly and appear to be largely of 17th-century date, although the E end, subsequently used as a burial vault, is earlier and incorporates a 16th-century doorway. It was formerly known as the church of 'Saint Michael of Dalmaolkeran or Dalmakeran', but the name had changed to Dailly before the Reformation. On record in the early 13th century, it was replaced by a new church at Dailly (NS20SE 13) in 1696. There are no visible remains of the old manse which stood 180m to the NNW (NX 224 994).
