History
North Ayrshire has a history of religion stretching back to the very beginning of missionary enterprise in Scotland. The Celtic Christians or Culdees of the period of St Columba and St Mungo found here, in this part of Scotland, a fertile field for the propagation of the faith. Kilmarnock, Kilbride, Kilbirnie, are all, like Kilwinning, verbal evidence of the existence of 'Cillean' or cells of the Culdee or Celtic Church.
That there existed a religious house at this place, in the early part of the seventh century, is a generally accepted truth; the holy father of the church being St Winin; after whom, in olden times, the town was called the name of Sagtoun/Segdoune (or Saint's town).

When a need can't be met When the table's been set When you've outplaced your bet When you cannot forget When you fall fast asleep And when you're staring at me When the switch can't be found You just wait to come back around Help me out, help me out of my head Cause I've been staying around this bed and that ain't me I can't break it down, my faith is all that's left But faith don't feel that much when you're sleeping so far in In and out, in and out of my head You've crossed the line and now you're scared All that's good's gone south of fair Still, you stay in that tree house Your pride would dare not come down And all your friends say, "Be smart." But your heart's feeling dumb Cuase your story's sticking out Like a beat-up, sore thumb Help me out, help me out of my head Cause I've been staying around this bed and that ain't me I can't break it down, my faith is all that's left But faith don't feel that much when you're sleeping so far in In and out, in and out When you can't feel the sun Cause you feel old and more undone And all your dreams say you're stuck And well, you dream them way too much How a joke'll leave so fast When a smile is out of gas What you'd give to turn around To get one foot out, out of this town Help me out, help me out of my head Cause I've been staying around this bed and that ain't me I can't break it down, my faith is all that's left But faith don't feel that much when you're sleeping so far in Help me out, help me out of my head Cause I've been staying around this bed and that ain't me I can't break it down, my faith is all that's left But faith don't feel that much when you're sleeping so far in In and out, in and out
