Martyrs Parish Church
The Martyrs Parish Church is a church building of the Presbyterian Church of Scotland in the Scottish town of New Cumnock in the East Ayrshire council area . In 1971 the structure was included in the Scottish Monument Lists in Monument Category B. The church is still in use as such.
history
With today's New Cumnock Old Church , the parish received its first church building in 1659. Since this turned out to be too small for the growing community in the 1830s, it was replaced by the Martyrs Parish Church and is now only preserved as a ruin. The church building designed by James Ingram was completed in 1833.
