Skein monument, St Congan's kirk, Turriff
Monument to Andrew Skein, minister of the kirk from 1661-1678. The sandstone edifice is severely eroded, but 150 years' ago or so, the inscription was recorded and translated by Jervise as: Mr Andrew Skein, a man distinguished for his candour, very mighty in word and deed, the glory of the pulpit of Turriff, laid down in hope the remains of mortality, besides which he had nothing mortal, in April, 1678. This monument, such as it is, his most tender spouse, Joanna Coutts, caused to be erected as a pledge of her lasting affection. The Coutts arms are now illegible but the Skein (or Skene) arms are just legible: gules three skenes, or daggers, paleways in fess argent hiltcd and pommelled or, on the point of each a wolf's head couped of the third.

Enigmatic sculpture
Carved panel in the east end of St Congan's kirk and said to come from St Congan's Hospital (almshouse). The centre head could be King Alexander III (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexander_III_of_Scotland ) (Buildings of Scotland guide) or Robert the Bruce (Jervise: Aberdeenshire epitaphs), who might have witnessed the foundation of the hospital in the late 13th Century.
