Stair Church is in East Ayrshire a mile south of Tarbolton on the southern bank of the River Ayr.
Stair Parish was formed at the dissolution of the old Barnweil Parish, it's said because of the long ride the local Lord had to take on a Sunday morning to get to church.
The old Barnweil Church was five miles north of here near Symington.
This church is an 1864 replacement for an earlier 1706 building and has upstairs galleries so that the local lords and ladies didn't have to sit on the ground floor among the common folk.
