(NO 4933 4327) Kirkbuddo Church (NR) (Site of)
OS 6" map, Forfarshire, 2nd ed., (1903)
For cross slab, see NO44SE 16.
There is said to have been a chapel at Kirkbuddo.
OSA 1793.
The church of Kirkbuddo (old name Carbuddo) was in the diocese of Brechin, and was a rectory belonging to Guthrie church. The time of its suppression is not known, and only the graveyard remains.
A Jervise 1853.
The name "Kirkbuddo Church" is known locally. Warden (1880-5) notes the font and part of a graveslab, both of red sandstone, in the burial ground. The latter measures c. 3ft by 2ft and is sculptured with a wheel-cross and shaft in bas-relief.
A J Warden 1880-5.
The old Church of Kirkbuddo is 1/3 mile S of the Roman camp (NO44SE 15), near a spring. Two carved medieval slabs lie among the ruins.
O G S Crawford 1949.
Field Visit (7 September 1967)
No trace of the church coud be found, but in the graveyard, c. 5.0m SW of a vault containing the two carved slabs, there is a simple font, possibly associated with the church.
Visited by OS (R D) 7 September 1967.
Reference (1988)
The slab noted by Warden is still in the burial-ground, as is another, carved in relief with a Celtic cross with double-square hollow angles. (This is presumably the second stone mentioned by Crawford and OS surveyor.)
No trace of the font.
N Atkinson 1988.
