“It is causing real distress and upset that this building is now lying rotting and in decline'
KIRK officials are locked in talks over the potential sale of the former Lochwinnoch Parish Church, it has been confirmed.
The veteran politician said he has written to the church’s general trustees – the group appointed to make sure its buildings and funds are managed properly – to find out what they are doing to push the sale forward. “One resident living nearby wryly remarked to me recently that he thought the kirk was waiting for the second coming before selling it.
Councillor Doig said there are many views in the village about what the building could be used for, including everything from housing to an arts and culture centre.A Church of Scotland spokesperson insisted the general trustees “work very hard” to manage the sale of buildings and make sure their duties are “carried out appropriately in all instances".
