Authors: Robert Burns
Mauchline Parish Church stands on the site of St Michael’s Church, dating back to the thirteenth century. In June 1786, Burns appeared before the Session and admitted his responsibility for Jean Armour’s pregnancy. He had to appear in Church on three occasions to receive public rebuke. Two years later, they both appeared again before the Session and it was agreed that their marriage would be finally regularised. Burns made peace with the Church by giving a guinea note for the relief of the poor.
