KILBRIDE, a parish, in the island of Arran, county of Bute, 20 miles (S. W. by W.) from Saltcoats; containing the villages of Brodick and Corrie. This parish derives its name from the dedication of its ancient church to St. Bridget or St. Bride.
(Wikipedia)

Kilbride Chapel, old church and graveyard, Lamlash, Arran
The monument consists of a roofless church, said to date from the 14th century, together with part of the burial ground in which it stands.

The church, dedicated to St Bride or Bridget, served the parish forming the eastern half of Arran and was the principal church therein. The location of the parish church at this particular spot may result from its proximity to Holy Isle. The church is first documented in 1357, but the dedication suggests the possibility of an earlier foundation.
