What is recorded here
Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Old Erskine Parish Church as Church (early 19th Century) (1814). The official map says its point is accurate as follows: NGR given to the nearest 1m. The record does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.
Old Erskine Parish Church is associated with Saint Fillan, a 7th-century Irish monk and healer, whose cult was widely venerated in Scotland. Traditionally linked to cures for skin diseases and general healing, the church and surrounding area may have once been the site of a holy well or pilgrimage practices connected to his legacy.
