Parish Church on site of 'Our Lady's Chapel of Carmyllie'.
NSA 1845.
The chapel of the Blessed Virgin Mary at Carmyllie was founded by David Strachan on 5 March 1500-1. The parish of Carmyllie was erected and confirmed in 1609 and about the same time the present parish church was built on the site of St Mary's Chapel.
D Miller 1860.
It is probable that the older portion of Carmyllie Church is the chapel built in 1500 by David Strachan.
A J Warden 1880-5.
The west and east ends of the south wall and the west and east gables of the nave are of ashlar construction, and the few architectural features point to a 17th century date for this portion of the church. There is no architectural evidence for a pre-Reformation date, although the walls may contain part of the chapel walls. The central and northern parts of the church are entirely modern.
It is therefore almost certain that this is a 17th century church on the site of AD 1500 chapel.
The church is in use for public worship.
