Laurencekirk, Parish Church and Burial-ground NO 718 716 NO77SW 16
The parish church of Laurencekirk (formerly known as Conveth) comes on record in the reign of William the Lion (1165-1214). The church demolished in 1804, to make way for the present building, was erected in 1626, but when it was being taken down 'there were found in different parts of the wall, stones apparently of even an older date than the building'.
