Tour Scotland photograph of the Church and cemetery in Cortachy, Angus, Scotland. This Scottish church was built by the 7th Earl of Airlie, the sole heritor, in 1828, on the site of a previous church. It is a small church with a big presence, its exterior an elaborate Gothic Revival exercise in red sandstone with the carving lace-like against the sky. The architect was David Patterson. The gallery gives the church a seating capacity of 300, despite its small size. Inside there are memorials to the 9th and 12th Earls, and against the east gable is the Burial Aisle of the Airlie family.
