1 The church of Muiravonside had at this time quite recently become vacant
through the desertion of Andrew Ure or Urie, the Episcopal incumbent, who had
been settled there since 1667. He had made himself particularly obnoxious to
the Presbyterians in the district, having been the means of the death of Peter
Gillies, a ‘waulker’ or fuller in 1685.—Scott’s Fasti ; Wodrow’s Hist., vol. iv.
p. 245.
