St. Ninian’s Kirk
The old Parish Kirk of St. Ninians was blown up by Prince Charles Edward’s forces, who had used it as a powder magazine in February 1746. All that survived the explosion was the fifteenth century chancel and the tower which has been added to the Kirk as recently as 1743. The tower is a particularly pleasing composition in the early classical style, though the original harmony of the design has been considerably marred by the removal of the harling in recent years. The present Parish Kirk, standing further to the east, was erected in 1751.
