021.13 "The church is situated a little way from the north bank of the Bervie. It is about three miles distant from farthest extremity of the parish. The date of its erection is not known. In 1505 Sir Robert Arbuthnott repaired and improved the west gable, erecting on it a round tower to which he presented two bells. The joining of the earlier and later workmanship is still apparent in the building, so that the church is not less than 333 years old, and is probably upwards of 400. It is at present in a pretty good state of repair, and affords accommodation for 440 persons." (New Stat. Act. [Statistical Account] P. [Page] 163)
"The Psalter and office used in the Chapel of the Virgin Mary, and the Missal used in the Church of St. Ternan, are in the library of Arbuthnott House in excellent preservation." (ib. [New Statistical Account] P. [Page] 160)
"Berengar held the office of Prior, and was present at the Synod at Perth, in the dispute, betwixt William, Bishop of St Andrews, and Duncan of Aberbothenoth, 3rd. April 1206, regarding the lands of the Kirktown of Arbuthnott." (Memorials of Angus and Mearns P. [Page] 416)
