"To the original parish of Inverarity, the adjoining
district of Meathie-Lour was added about two
hundred years ago. Both were in the diocese of
St. Andrews, and, after the reformation, were
served by one and the same minister; * and
the kirk of Meathie was "ruinous and decayed"
even in Guynd's time."

"The Parish of Inverarity, of which the estates
of Fotheringham constitute the largest part,
is formed of the old parish conjoined
with that of Meathie. The latter, as a parish,
was suppressed and annexed to the former
about the middle of the sixteenth century"

The Kirk and graveyard have been identified and marked
on trace. The former fell into disuse when the two parishes were
annexed, which the Revd. [Reverend] Mr. Louden, the present minister,
thinks to have been about two hundred years ago.
