In 1882-4, Frances Groome's Ordnance Gazetteer of Scotland described Fullarton like this:
Fullarton, an Ayrshire burgh of barony within the bounds of the parliamentary burgh of Irvine, but lying in Dundonald parish, on the left or opposite bank of the river Irvine. With Irvine it is connected by a handsome stone four-arch bridge of l746, and from 1690 to 1823 it was supposed to belong to Irvine parish, having in the former of those years been technically united thereto; but, an appeal being made to the Court of Session in 1823, it was found to have legally belonged all along to Dundonald. ...
An Established church, built as a chapel of ease in 1836 at a cost of £2000, contains 900 sittings, and in 1874 was raised to quoad sacra status, its parish being in Ayr presbytery and the synod of Glasgow and Ayr. There are also a Free church and a public school. See Irvine and Dundonald. Pop. of parish (1881) 4009.—Ord. Sur., sh. 22, 1865.
