The church was completed in 1814 and was built to replace the nearby 17th century church. The new church was required because the growth of heavy industry in Muirkirk led to a substantial increase in population in the early 19th century. It is a Category B listed building. https://www.britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/200347716-muirkirk-kirk-green-muirkirk-parish-church-muirkirk#.WZxttDGWw5s
