20 Parish of Forgan Plan 2D Trace 3.[Quotation] Ecclesiastical State. "The church is situated in a most beautiful and sequestered spot, but being at the south east extremity of the parish it is very inconvenient for the population in general and particularly for those resident in the villages along the banks of the Tay from whom it is distant from three to four miles. The date of its erection is not known. It formed one of the Priory Kirks belonging to St. Andrews and was built according to tradition in its present site for the special accommodation of a wealthy Lady resident in the adjoining mansion house of Kirkton who contributed largely to its erection. It received a thorough repair in 1770 and was seated at the commencement of the present century etc" New Stat. Acct. [Statistical Account] of Fife p.515.
