For (present and successor) St Margaret's Church (NS 29150 49430), see NS24NE 7.00.
The pre-Reformation parish church of Dalry, dedicated to St Margaret of Antioch, stood 'near to ground called the Old Glebe', just over 1/4 mile W of the present church (Statistical Account {OSA} 1794) (see NS24NE 7). It was replaced by that new church 1600-8. No vestiges of it remained in 1876. (The New Statistical Account states that it stood "on the lands of Linn", while Dobie locates it to West Kirkland) (Linn names: NS 28 48).
