The Kilbirnie chapel has been in existence since 1127 and was attended by the Crawfords of Kilbirnie.  The name of Crawford came to this district when the male line of Lord Barclay ended.  The lands passed to Malcolm Crawford of Greenock through marriage to Marjory Barclay.  The church became protestant in 1567 when a Mister Crawford became the vicar.  Crawfords were associated with this church until 1808.  The Auld Kirk has recently been divested by the Church of Scotland and was up for sale. The whole £70,000 for the purchase of the Kirk has been put up by a local benefactor. They are seeking legal advice as to how to use his money to transfer the building into the ownership of the Charity.   Clan Crawford has been one of the groups attempting to save the church as a historic building. 

The annual budget needed to operate and care for the Kirk is estimated to be 25,000 pounds.  $2,500 dollars has been pledged by our members to go toward  the operating budget.  Can you donate to this worthy project?

We are always looking for CCA members who are willing to establish a clan tent at their local highland games and to provide information and new friendships with fellow Crawfords. 

A donation here will help with the expense of purchasing a tent and other equipment needed to support the clan tent sponsor.
