Rev. [Reverend] W. Low William Masson, Schoolmaster Land of the Lindsays |
006 | The walls of this Church except the South are still entire, It has not been in use since 1803, when the present parish Church was built, There is a grave yard attached. "The old parish kirk is situated at the North east corner of the Loch and was thatched with heath down to the year 1784 when it was covered with grey slates, The walls are thick and strongly built and a loft graced the East, or oriel end, which had a special entrace from the grave yard, Although said to be of unknown antiquity it is not likely that these walls are older, if so old, as the days of the Marquis of Montrose, for all story agrees that while he and his soldiers took refuge here in 1645, they burned the Church to the ground and in all probability these are the remains of the kirk erected after that circumstance".
