The Story of Kirkmichael The provenance of this paper is not known. It was passed onto Rev. Louis Bezuidenhout, Minister at Kirkmichael, as part of a folio of old papers connected with the parish. The original is a typewritten document, over 18 pages, but there are some blanks and question marks in the original text, which suggest the typescript may itself have been a transcription of an earlier, possibly handwritten, paper. It is believed the original dates from before 1919.
