Memorial to the covenanters killed at The Battle of Aird's Moss located in the grounds of Auchinleck Parish Church.

This battle took place between The Scottish Covenanters and the Royalist troops of King Charles II in 1680. This period of ongoing hostilities was known as 'The Killing Time'

The Covenanters were members of a religious and political movement in the 17th century. This stemmed from the dissatisfaction with the doctrine of Kings Charles I who believed that the King was the head of the church and wished to unite the churches of Scotland and England. Many of these changes were deemed too Catholic for the Presbyterian Scottish Kirk who believed they were subject only to God.
