Kirkland was the manse of Dunlop till 1781 when it was sold and became a farmhouse. It has been restored, enlarged and modernised by the present owner. This small 16th century house was the original pre-Reformation Vicarage of Dunlop, the residence of Master John Major, teacher of Knox and other Reformers, who was vicar here from 1518 to 1550. In good repair.
