Dunglass Church is generally regarded as having been Collegiate. In the
appendix to the _Scotichronicon_, it is stated that in the reign of
James II. the buildings of Douglas (probably a mistake for Dunglass)
were in progress,[91] and in the _Originales Parochiales_, Vol. I. p.
153, the following note occurs:--“About the middle of the fifteenth
century a petition regarding the erection of the Parish Church of
Douglas (evidently mistaken for Dunglass) into a Collegiate Church was
presented to the Apostolic See, but though the Pope’s consent seems to
have been obtained, the purpose never was fulfilled.”
