OS 1:10000 map (1975)
The site of the former church of Inchbraoch or Craig parish, dedicated to St Braoch in 1243 and ruinous by 1573. It was removed before 1684 although foundations are still uncovered in the vicinity of the vault which now occupies the site.
The burial-ground which surrounds the eminence on which the church stood is still in use and three Early Christian stones have been recovered from it.
A Class II symbol-bearing cross-slab found in 1849 and a Class III upright cross-slab found in 1857 are in Montrose Museum. The other stone, a Class III cross-slab found between 1857 and 1903 is preserved at Craig Manse (NO 704 558).
This site has been transferred within the last century from Craig parish to Montrose.
