Cullen kirk session
A church court that sat within the presbytery of Fordyce and the synod of Aberdeen. The church of Cullen, which was known originally as Invercullen, was dedicated to St Neachtan of Mortlach and formerly belonged to the Abbey of Lindores. Within the bounds of the parish there existed a chapel of St Mary which was rebuilt in 1543 by Alexander Ogilvie of Findlater and Deskford, who endowed the chapel as a collegiate church. Early in the seventeenth century this church of St Mary became the parish church.
