The old parish church of Glenmuick was described in the Statistical Account (OSA) as "a very old house thatched with heather... dedicated to the Virgin Mary...".
In 1798 it was burned and never repaired. The Ordnance Survey Name Book (ONB) adds that nothing of it remains except the burial ground, still in use. The parishes of Glenmuick, Tullich and Glengairn were joined about 1500, according to Scott, and belonged in 1633, according to Jervise, to Kings College, Aberdeen.
