(Present church). 1777; repaired c. 1830 and 1876.

The mediaeval Ellon Church, dedicated to St. Mary, was appropriated to Kinloss Abbey (NJ06SE 2). It was pulled down in 1777 to make way for the present edifice, and nothing now survives save part of the foundation of the south wall of the chancel, which supports the monument of the Annands of Auchterellon which is scheduled.

As described. Only c.6.0m of the church wall remains, 0.7m thick and c.0.4m high.

Visited by OS (R L) 12 December 1968.
