St Marnan's Episcopal Church, Aberchirder

Dating from ca. 1826 and the first church in the village (B-listed: http://portal.historicenvironment.scot/designation/LB19922 ). At this time the established church was still about 3 km to the southwest at Marnoch. Despite lying on the highest site in the village, it is now a rather dank and dismal location due to excessive tree growth. St Marnan is believed to have been a missionary active in northern Britain in the 7th Century and reputedly died in the vicinity of Aberchirder.
