Archival historyThe Heritors of Kirkintilloch were the landowners of the parish. Until 1925 they were responsible for the upkeep of the parish church and manse, and the payment of the minister's stipend. They were also responsible for the parish school and schoolmaster's salary until the Education (Scotland) Act 1872 created the School Boards. In conjunction with the Kirk Session they had responsibility for poor relief until the Poor Law Amendment (Scotland) Act introduced the Parochial Boards.
