THE proper name is Kilpatrick, changed to Kirkpatrick­ Irongray, the church having been dedicated to St Patrick, ‘Om whom the name is taken. There seems reason to believe that this parishand Kirkpatrick—Durham were origi— Tlallyone. When they were disunited is not to be found. he old church in this portion is believed to have stood on the right bank of the river Cluden or Cairn. Chalmers states at Irongray in Scoto-Irish means Gray’s lands, or the por­ tion of land belonging to a. person called Gray. Unfortu­ nately for this derivation, the surname of Gray was never llown in Galloway as borne by a landowner in ancientor modern times, until very recently, and only temporary. _l1erewas an Andro Gray, rector of Kells church‘ at the ‘llne of the Reformation, but he could not have bestowed It Besides, in Pont’s Survey, taken about 1608-10, the name is plainly given as Arngra, which is evidently a cor­ ¥'Uptionof the Norse compound word jarn-grar, in English, 1T0I1gray. Why so called We have no information regarding, ‘it no doubt arising from the appearance of the land, or with reference to iron ore as found in other parishes not 31‘off, which has some support from Ar—angr in the same Ilguage, meaning the produce of the earth. There is 3130 in the same language ar—grar, the grey, or in this 0336 clear river,‘ or, with the Gaelic prefix irionn, and IV. A 2 KIRKOUDBRIGIITSIIIIEE. Norse grar, we have the grey land, referring to the colour of the rocks or stones. In the thirteenth century the name was Kirkpatrick, and in July 1296 William de Baliol, the rector, swore fealty t0 Edward I. It was a free parsonage in the deanery of Nith. In the fifteenth century, the patronage of the church and lands belonged to the family of Herries of Terregles.
