Description
An account of the resource
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;" class="western">The Former Parish Kirk is a Gothic structure built in 1890 to replace the earlier kirk of 1634. This large spikey Gothic Kirk accommodates over 501 worshippers and is built in crisp, grey granite with strikingly darker pinnings. The earlier kirk, although now ruinous, still displays its magnificent bell cot which sits precariously on top of the gable end. The 1890 kirk in constructed of crisp grey granite with dramatic darker pinning stones. But, its greatest treasure is housed within. The decoratively carved Laird's Loft, transferred from the old kirk, and is acknowledged as one of the finest examples of its type in Scotland. Pitsligo Castle, the home of the Forbes of Pitsligo for over three centuries, had enjoyed a settled life until the vengeful aftermath of Jacobite Rebellion in 1745. The Pitsligo Castle Trust and Friends of Pitsligo Castle now maintain and look after both sites and can only do so with the continuing support of visitors.</p><p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;" class="western">Disabled access at Front Door only.</p><p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;" class="western">Parking is limited on roadside.</p>
