Background
Description
The Parish Church of Glenluce, with the two chapels, was vested by the king in 1587. In 1646 the parish of Glenluce was split in two to form Old Luce Parish Church and New Luce Parish Church. However, in 2016 the parishes churches were reunited to form Luce Valley Church, which covers Auchenmalg, Dunragit, Glenluce and New Luce, as well as the surrounding area. They meet at 11am every Sunday in the church in Glenluce and the current minister is Rev Stephen Ogston.
