Old Parish Church.
In the old churchyard are the remains of the parish church, which was repaired and enlarged in 1680 (1). All that is left is the west gable with the bell-tower the latter resembling the tower of the Tolbooth, at Clackmannan. The church has been oblong on plan and has had a north aisle. The masonry is of rubble, but the upper part of the tower is built of ashlar and terminates in a slated spire of ogival form. On the inside of the gable a rough niche has been formed to contain a crudely carved figure, clad in 17th century costume, described in an inscription of a still later time, as ST. MUNGO (2).
