042 | This venerable Ivy clad ruin, of which the walls are still standing Complete, was formerly the Parish Church of Auchindoir, altho at what precise period it became a Presbyterian place of worship cannot be ascertained. It seems to be of considerable antiquity and has evidently been a Roman Catholic Chapel at one time, in the interior there is a Carved representation of our Saviour on the Cross (with the letters J. N. R. J. under it) over what appears to have been the recess Containing the Elements etc. Inside the main entrance which is a fine Saxon Gateway there is a stone vessel built into the wall which had been used for the Holy Water; there are also several armorial bearings carved in stone inside on the north gable. There is a date (1557) on the outside of the North Gable, the Church is surrounded by a grave yard which is still used as a burial place by the inhabitants of the Parish. See New Stat. Act.
