All that remains of the ancient church dedicated to St Ternan (J Murray; H Scott et al 1926) is the 'Errol's Aisle' in the churchyard near the south wall of the church. Here the Earls of Errol were buried from Andrew, the 7th earl (d 1585) to Countess Mary (d 1758). The present church built 1806, reconstructed 1930, (J Murray) is said to replace one built c 1599. A church at Slains is mentioned in 1275. (A Jervise ) St Ternan's Well is a strong spring. (J Murray)
