Church Overview

All that remains of the 15th-century church on this site is the square rubble-built tower. At some point the storey above the string course was used as a doocot, with flight-holes inserted on the southern face. The body of the medieval church was rebuilt in 1773 and then recast in 1886 by William Young who added two aisles on the south to match the post-Reformation Gosford and Ballencrieff burial aisles on the north.

Stained glass by Edward Frampton, George Frampton and James Ballantine. Organ transplanted from St Margaret’s Episcopal Church in Braemar n 1992. Eighth-century cross inside and a marble monument attributed to Canova.
