Kippen Old Kirk and kirkyard

Image: © Richard Sutcliffe Taken: 22 Mar 2022

The church was either built or rebuilt in 1691. All that now remains is the west gable, and the bell, which appears to pre-date the church (dated 1618). The structure is dangerous and so the kirkyard is closed until restoration work can be undertaken. This photograph was taken over the wall. The ruins are Category B listed http://portal.historicenvironment.scot/designation/LB8164.
