Church constructed to replace the Peterkirk, the old parish
church. Lady Dunbar of Duffus House, an artist, took a great
interest in the design. The spire was added, and paid for,
by Dr D Brander, the Minister, to mark his fortieth year
as Minister of the Parish (he served from 1828-1880).
War Memorial (1914-18) and 1939-45 sited in front of church.
