This large parish church in Fordoun parish, now known as Auchenblae Church, was built in the 1820s on an historic site. The fairly large surrounding graveyard has the important ruined St Palladius Chapel and the site has been associated with Christianity for centuries. The church stands on a prominent hillside in the hamlet of Auchenblae, and the graveyard and land around slopes away steeply to the south, east and north. The large manse is located to the south, but is now privately owned. The church grounds are surrounded by a wall, railings and a gateway with piers, all built by the church architect John Smith. Trees and a number of houses border the church and graveyard, along with a B-road which runs through this rural area.
