IRVINES HISTORY Part Four IRVINES SECT SCANDAL One of the strangest characters from the pages of the former Royal Burghs story is Elspeth Buchan and her religious sect; who were based, for a time, in the building depicted below in Glasgow Vennel. Mrs Buchan had a very interesting take on the word of the Lord, one which would have had considerable appeal 180 years later (in the era of free love). The description of the woman and her followers can be found on the website of the Irvine Old Parish Church (see link given below, the text wisely draws a veil over the dirty bits). The guid people of Irvine hunted them out the town for their depraved doings - a real News of the World story! irvineold.org/graveyard/notable-graves/65-the-buchanites flickr/photos/crawfordfulton/6830717151/in/set-72157631122477960
