Farnell kirk session
A church court that sat within the presbytery of Brechin and the synod of Angus and Mearns. The church of Farnell was dedicated to St Ninian and ministry of the session is recorded from 1567. In 1633 it was disjoined from Farnell and erected into a separate parish. In 1787 however the parish of Kinnaird was suppressed and was once more united with Farnell, except that is for a small part of the parish which was annexed to that of Brechin.
