The ruined church is said to have been around since the 13th century with connections to Oswald of Northumbria (Kirkoswald, get it?). The old church is part of the Burns Heritage Trail with connections to our national bard, Robert Burns. His mother was born in Kirkoswald and Burns himself was baptised in this church and also lived in the town for a short period. I can still recite the entirety of Tam O'Shanter, so it was great fun hunting for the graves of characters from the poem. The graves of Kirkton Jean and Souter Johnnie are marked on a map at the front gate Inside the ruin church is a baptismal font said to have been used for the infant baptism of Robert the Bruce, so another nice connection. The grounds are well tended and the ruins seem to be cared for, so a visit to these ruins is quite atmospheric.
