Tullibody Old Kirk

Tullibody is an ancient parish linked with Cambuskenneth Abbey. A church was founded in 1149 and parts of this ruined church are probably of that date, though a date stone records its restoration in 1539. It was damaged by the French army of Mary of Guise twenty years later. It was restored again, with the addition of a bellcote, in 1760 by George Abercomby and turned into the family mausoleum. In 1833 it became a chapel of ease, but it was abadoned as unsafe in 1904 and unroofed in 1916. The kirkyard contains some interesting gravestones, including the 15th century stone coffin known as the Maiden Stone.

Two phases of restoration work on the Old Kirk have been completed and it is hoped that the improvements will help to protect the building from vandalism. Further restoration of the building and gravestones are being planned.

Guided tours from 2 pm to 3 pm each day.
