Gazetteer of Scotland Chalmers Caledonia John Park, "Killallan" James Scott "Kirkton" Crawfurds His.[History] of Renfrew |
007.06 | The ruins of what was formerly the "Parish Church" of Killallan before the Parish became united to Houston. Everything connected with this old edifice has been removed or decayed nothing now remains but the bare walls. There is a Burial Ground surrounding the Church, still used, enclosed by [a] wall 5 feet high. It appears, from "Crawfurd's History of Renfrew", that this Church was [a] dependency of the Monastry of Peasley, from the year 1225. "Chalmers" calls it St. Fillan's Church, which statement is supported in a great measure by Fullarton in his "Imperial Gazetteer of Scotland". |

Note: "The kirk of Killallan is still standing and the roof entire. The heritors were empowered by the decreet of annexation, to sell the Manse, which was a bad house, and the glebe, to enable them to build a Church at Houston, sufficient to accomodate the inhabitants of both parishes."
