Note
The current church of St Columbkille replaced an earlier church in the parish dating from the mid nineteenth century mainly catering to the large number of migrants to the west of Scotland from Ireland. By the 1930's the church was too small and the current building was designed by G A 'Jack' Coia and built from 1938, completed by 1940.
