259. Mertoun Church.
The parish church is situated in a wood a little to the north-west of the mansion-house of Mertoun. It has been repaired (1820) and restored (1898). Above the east door in the south wall is cut the date IVLIE 1658, which is copied from the original stone inserted above a door on the west side of the north wing. Into the east wall of the wing has been built a stone about 1 foot long by 6 or 8 inches deep, the exposed surface of which is carved with plain interlacing ornament.
