Parish Kirk, 1803. On the Don's southern bank, at a sharp bend, the kirkton of Towie is distinguished by the honest rectangle of its parish kirk. Round-headed windows retaining the original glazing bars and a bellcote capped by a ball finial convey a sense of simple grace. Inside are the original pulpit with sounding board and a U-plan gallery. A fine example of an Aberdeenshire mortsafe lies inverted in the kirkyard whose wall contains a medieval graveslab with calvary cross and chalice. Altered 1894.
