Loudoun Kirk, Medieval church ruins in East Ayrshire, Scotland.
The stone walls of Loudoun Kirk showcase Gothic architectural elements with a prominent chancel arch and remaining western gable standing against the Scottish landscape.
Founded in 1451, Loudoun Kirk served as the parish church until the 17th century when religious activities moved to the nearby town of Newmilns.
The graveyard contains burial sites of Scottish nobility, including the Campbell family vault and memorial stones that document local genealogical connections.
Visitors can access the kirk grounds through an entrance gate off the main road, with parking available near the perimeter of the cemetery.
The right hand of Francis Rawdon-Hastings, 2nd Earl of Moira, rests in the family vault following his specific request upon death aboard HMS Revenge in 1826.
