Creich Parish
"Creich
parish is about 3 miles in length and 2 in
breadth. Its surface is nearly level, and the soil sandy
& thin; but agriculture is making rapid improvements.
On a little eminence near the church are the vestiges of
a Roman camp, and at a short distance therefrom are the
remains of a castle, which formerly belonged to Cardinal
Beaton. This parish was the birthplace of the Rev John Sage,
the first of the post-revolution bishops in the Scottish
episcopal communion, and the author of that very remarkable
production the 'Fundamental Charter of Presbytery'."
from Slater's Directory published 1852.
