065 | A very plain rural church erected prior to the Reformation, but at what precise date is not known. It was formerly styled "The Chapel of St. Fergus" being dedicated to that saint. Its eastern gable is surmounted by what is thought to be an ancient iron cross while on its western gable hangs a small Dutch bell some centuries old. It is seated for about 250; is the only church in the parish, but not at all a good building for public worship. The Session records go back to A.D. 1645 although some have been lost prior to that date. In the walls surrounding the churchyard are two scuptured stones, one a cross - for which see particular description. A small stone lies against the west end of the south wall of the church which appears to have been a holy water font. Property of the Church of Scotland. |
