church was erected at New Dailly, and divine service transferred to it in 1696, since which period the old church has fallen into ruin.
A burial vault has been constructed within the east part of the building, in connection with the Bargeny Estate, which adjoins. Another similar vault for the use of the Killochan Estate, situated on the opposite side of the Girvan Water, has been erected at the north-east angle of the church (see Fig. 1329). It is evidently a seventeenth century structure. The north front is peculiar, having a deep niche on each side of the doorway. The latter is now built up.
STRAITON CHURCH, Ayrshire.
The village of Straiten stands near the north base of the mountains
which form the boundary between Ayrshire and Kirkcudbrightshire. It
is situated in a pastoral district about seven miles south-east from
Maybole, and near the right bank of the Girvan Water.
