Description
Kinellar Parish Church is a rectangular building dating from 1801, harled in finish. A porch and bellcote are located on the north gable, while a session house is positioned on the south side. Two round arched windows are present on the west wall, with the Milne of Kinaldie monument erected between them in 1871. The church retains original furnishings, including two lairds’ pews situated in the west corners and one pew in the gallery. The gallery itself is U-shaped and supported by recently renovated cast-iron columns, which lack margins. A bell from 1615 is housed within the bellcote. A fontbowl stands at the porch door. The churchyard contains few monuments of note, though a symbol stone is located in the porch. The church remains in ecclesiastical use and is surrounded by churchyard walls. Historic references can be found in the New Statistical Account, Hay's Post Reformers, and Sculptured Stones of Scotland.
