A church at Benvie was dedicated in 1243; the parish was united with Liff in 1753, from which time presumably the church fell into ruin. The inset datestone to the left of the gates at the west wall is dated 1633; the stone to the right depicts the coat of arms of James Scrymgeour, 2nd Viscount Dudhope and his wife Isabella Carr, dated 1643. The cross slab, a Scheduled Monument and formerly situated in the churchyard, was removed by the Dundee District Museums Service in 1991 for museum display. Benvie Church Ruin ahd Churchyard forms a B group with Benvie Mill, Benvie Farmhouse, and the Road Bridge over Fowlis Burn near Benvie Mill.
