073 | A small building erected on the site of the old parish church of Logiebride and used as a vault for the interment of the Tullybelton family, it stands in the centre of the old parish graveyard, which is still in use. "A small parish named Logiebride, the church of which stood about a mile and a half to the south-west of that of Auchtergaven, on the banks of the Ordie, and where there is still a burying-place, was united to Auchtergaven by an act of the Scottish Parliament, in the year 1618, and was afterwards separated by the Bishop of Dunkeld. In 1647, the heritors and the parishioners petitioned the Presbytery of Dunkeld to have the parishes again united; because there was not adequate stipend for two ministers - because the parish of Logiebride lay within the bosom of that of Auchtergaven, - and because all its inhabitants (not exceeding six score of communicants) "were within a short mile of any of the two said kirks, without any stop or impediment of kirk-way." This matter was referred by the presbytery to the provincial synod of Perth and Stirling, which met at Stirling on the 14th April 1647, when in all probability they were put in the way of being again united, although I cannot state that such was the case, as the documents, whence the above facts are taken, breaks off abruptly. *** Divine service used to be performed at Logiebride for many years after the union, but not within the memory of any one now living. An old man, upwards of eighty years of age, who died lately, remembered the church of Logiebride standing." New Statistical Acct [Account] |
