Photograph of the Parish Church Kettins, Scotland. The earliest reference to a church building here shows that Bishop David of St Andrews dedicated a church in Kettins to St Bride, or st Bridget, in 1249. There are later references to the “abthen” of Kettins, a term usually suggesting a monastery. There was no monastery in Kettins in the later Middle Ages but it maybe there was a much earlier church in Kettins. That a parish church stood here in the thirteenth century is indicated by fragments of architectural stonework from that time. The present church was built in 1768 with the north wing added in 1870 and the tower in 1891.
