For summary of history of successive Scone parish churches, see NO12NW 9.13.

In 1784 a new parish church was opened, succeeding that on Moot Hill (NO12NW 9.13). According to the author of the Statistical Account this church stood within the village of Old Scone (NO12NW 9.08). About 1804-5 it was demolished, its materials being in part reused for the parish church at New Scone (NO12NW 59). There are no visible remains to confirm the site of the 1784 church, although a table tomb (at NO 1170 2678) is believed to mark the site.
