OS1/14/48/7A [Pgae] 7A Chapel at Kirkbuddo New Stat: [Statistical ]Account page 469 "It appears from the records of the Abbey of Arbroath that the Kirk of Guthrie had been a chapel belonging to the abbey. It was purchased from the Abbey by Sir William Guthrie, the ancestor of the present patron of the parish, who founded and endowed a collegiate church at Guthrie, for a provost and three prebends. This deed of foundation was confirmed by a bull from Pope Sertus IV of date 14th June 1479. To this foundation at Guthrie, Kirkbuddo or Carbuddo was attached as a rectory. The rectory has been incorporated with Guthrie as an integral part of the same parish, since the reformation." Land of the Lindsays page 298 : "Like the Church at Guthrie, that at Carbuddo or the Southern division of the parish, was in the diocese of Brechin, and a rectory belonging to the church at Guthrie; but the time of its suppression is unknown, and the graveyard only remains" The graveyard and site of the old chapel are identified and marked on trace.
