Tour Scotland short 4K travel video, with Scottish music, of part of a road trip drive to the Parish Church on ancestry, genealogy, family history visit to Kirkton of Auchterhouse, Angus, Britain, United Kingdom. Built 1630 with stone from earlier churches of 1275 and 1426. Partially rebuilt 1775.Situated on south side of Sidlaw Hills. There is documentary evidence of a church located here in 1238, which was dedicated to St Mary. A 15th century charter attests to the foundation of a chaplainry in the church. In 1426 the original structure was replaced by an impressive Gothic church. This lasted until 1630, when the present building was erected. However, structural failure necessitated its reconstruction, using the same stones, in 1775. The church building in the 17th century appears to have been an uncomfortable place, with small windows only partially glazed and no solid floor or heating. Rushes covered the soil floor and there were no pews. Kirkton of Auchterhouse is located 5 miles North West of Dundee.
