St Marnan's Chair
Either St Marnan was a very odd shape, or perhaps he was into pole-sitting. This un-chair-like standing stone is in the grounds of St Marnan's Kirk. It may have formed part of an ancient stone circle. See https://canmore.org.uk/site/17915/st-marnans-chair for more information.

Marnoch Old Church
Marnoch old church was built in 1792 to replace an ancient church on the banks of the river Deveron. It is named after St Marnan a Celtic missionary from Ireland who settled in the area. The stone age standing stone in the kirkyard shows that the ground on which the church is built has long been used for religious purposes. The stone is known locally as St Marnan's chair.

Marnoch Old Kirk
This handsome rectangular kirk replaced St Marnoch's (old) Church, situated a few hundred metres to the southwest, in around 1790. The bell, presumably from the old church, is dated 1747. The congregation 'came out' in 1841 in a row over patronage and established a new church (confusingly called New Marnoch Church) at the planned village of Aberchirder, about 3km to the northeast (see: http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/5450589 ). The two kirks were reunited in 1929 and it is now part of a joint parish with its Aberchirder neighbour. A fine standing stone called St Marnan's Chair can be seen in the kirkyard.
