Kincardine, Cruick and Edderton Church of Scotland, Lower Gledfield built in 1909. A Bell is situated above the side door of the church with a plaque inscibed with:

BELL, CAPTURED IN A FRENCH SHIP OF WAR

OF 74 GUNS WAS GIFTED

BY ADM. SIR JOHN ROSS OF BALNAGOUN, BART.

IN THE YEAR 1778.

TO THE PARISH OF KINCARDINE

When Britains Navies did a World control.

And spread her Empire to the farthest Poles;

High stood our Hero in the Rolls of Fame.

And FLOCKHART, then became a Deathlists name

This Bell no more shall witness Blood or Gore.

Nor shall his Voice mix with the Cannons roar.

But to Kincardine by the Hero given.

Shall call the Sinner to the peace of Heaven.
