For this to be the case, Colquhoun must have argued that the work in some way caused him to fear for his safety, and the workers would have had to place a deposit with the court, which would be forfeited if they continued. Colquhoun lost the petition, and the church was completed. The current New Kilpatrick Church was built in 1807, and subsequently enlarged in 1873–85 and in 1908. Electric lights were installed in 1923. The church for many years placed assistant ministers within the parish at

It is therefore reasonable to assume that a church dedicated to St Patrick gave the area its name before the transfer to Paisley Abbey. The parish remained under the supervision of the Abbey until the Reformation in 1560.

The care shown to the poor included the provision of accommodation and maintenance, and any failure of the better-off to provide these could have led to legal proceedings against them. In 1845, the

By 1911, the
Encyclopædia Britannica described New Kilpatrick as a town in Dumbartonshire, 5.5 miles (9 km) N.W. of Glasgow, with a railway station on the Milngavie branch line. Key public buildings are listed as the Schaw Convalescent Home, Buchanan Retreat (now Boclair House), house of refuge

Kilpatrick was split into two parishes - Old (Wester or West) and New (Easter or East) by an Act of
Parliament on 16 February 1649. This division is of note because this was a split of both the ecclesiastical and civil parishes and the wealth and stipend of the original parish was shared between the

Limestone and Hurlet Coal of the lower limestone group are prominently developed. A yellow sandstone of quite different character from the Old Red Sandstone extends from the Clyde at intervals to Netherton and Garscube. This stone easily

The original parish church was built in 1649 from local stone. This can be confirmed by the passing of an Act of the
Scottish Parliament (in July 1649) in favour of the parishioners of New Kilpatrick and against one of the parish heritors, Sir Umphra Colquhoun of Balvie (now Mains). It seems that

As the population of the area grew, the ecclesiastical parish reduced in area as smaller parishes were separated off and the parish now covers only a fraction of the town of
Bearsden. The parish church was built in 1649 from local stone, and was replaced in 1807 with a larger building.

Until 1872, the provision of education had been the responsibility of the kirk session, but this was transferred to a School Board (from 1873 to 1919) for building and running schools in the area. The former Temple
Primary School (1901–2007) now in Glasgow, is an example

to hold markets in the parish on 1 May and 21 October each year. The purpose of this was to encourage the local economy, and the bill was passed. John
Douglas was a heritor of the parish and was the 11th Laird of Mains, registering his coat of arms in 1672.

Colquhoun had agreed to the quarrying of stone from his land to build the church, but at some point during the building process (at least halfway), he had confiscated the workmen's tools and prevented the work from continuing by charging the workers with
