New Marnoch Church, Aberchirder

Built in 1841 as a 'non intrusion church' to accommodate the congregation of Marnoch Kirk some 3 km to the southwest, who had 'come out' of that church because they refused to accept the appointment of a new minister by the heritors (land owners) against their wishes. New Marnoch joined with the Free Church after the Disruption in 1843. It is now the Aberchirder (Church of Scotland) Parish Church.
