St Quivox is a small Scottish village north of Ayr and east of Prestwick.

It was previously known as Sanchar (Sanquhar) in Kyle, and was renamed after its church (and its saint) in the Middle Ages.

[2] Auchincruive House and church lie within the parish boundary.

Auchincruive church was described as a "rectory" in 1208 and from 1221 to 1238 was linked to a Gilbertine Priory at Dalmilling or Dalmulin, the only Gilbertine Priory in Scotland, but from 1238 to 1560 was under the control of Paisley Abbey before becoming a parish church.

[3] After the Reformation the church came under the patronage of Alan, 4th Lord Cathcart who then owned Auchincruive House and he instructed a repair and remodelling of the church to Protestant standards in 1595.
