Spring Parish Church And Graveyard Abernyte Perthshire Scotland



Tour Scotland Spring 4K travel video of the parish church and graveyard on visit to Abernyte, Perthshire. The church is cruciform in shape. It stands on the site of a pre Reformation church. It was been renovated in 1672, then largely rebuilt in in 1736 by David Smart, a Dundee mason and James Morris, a local wright. In 1870 the architect Thomas Saunders Robertson extended and remodelled the church. He added a chancel to its south side, extended the north transept into what became a nave, and turned the ends of the 1736 church into east and west transepts. The end result was the Gothic styled, cruciform church you see today. The surrounding churchyard is home to some early 18th century gravestones.
