Laigh Kirk, Kilmarnock

The Laigh Kirk is a church in Kilmarnock, East Ayrshire, Scotland and has a remake of Homeless Jesus.

[1] The first church was probably founded by St Marnock, but the earliest extant fabric is the base of the tower, dated 1410.

[1] On Sunday 18 October 1801, the congregation was unusually large, as churches in neighbouring parishes were vacant, and many had flocked to the Laigh to hear "Great McKinlay", the preacher.

Those upstairs became tightly jammed together, many fell, crushing and suffocating those poor souls underneath them.

Some desperate people threw themselves from the gallery into body of the kirk, others leapt from windows into the graveyard.
