Eassie, Old Parish Church and Burial-ground NO 352 474 NO34NE 3

The roofless shell of this church stands in the burial-ground at Eassie. Although it is on record in the 13th century the visible remains appear to be largely of post-Reformation date. The parish of Eassie was joined with Nevay in 1600, and about 1835 a new church was built on a site convenient to both former parishes. A Class II Pictish cross-slab which lay in the Burn of Eassie near the church in the late 18th century and was subsequently erected in the burial-fround now stands in the church.
