Kinkell Church ruins, Aberdeenshire

The ruins of this simple, rectangular Highland church dating from the 13th century are located well off the beaten track, near Inverurie, in rural Aberdeenshire. Once associated with the Knights Hospitallers, the church was remodelled for Presbyterian worship following the Protestant Reformation of 1560.

Although much of the building was demolished in the late 18th century, to provide building materials for a new parish church, it retains some interesting fixtures. The sacrament house features some now defaced cross-shaped carved stone panels and an adjacent replica brass panel shows the crucifixion and a representation of St Michael the Archangel. There is also a finely carved grave slab of the knight Gilbert de Greenlaw, who was killed at the nearby Battle of Harlaw in 1411. It has survived remarkably intact as it was re-used for another grave in 1592, with the original carving protected from weathering.
