Menmuir Church

The Menmuir Parish Church was built, or substantially rebuilt, at the Kirkton in 1767. It had a glebe of about 6 acres, and was under the patronage of John Erskine of Dun. In 1844, the Menmuir Free Church was formed. This became the Menmuir United Free Church in 1900, and the Menmuir South Church of Scotland in 1929, the Parish Church then being called the Menmuir North Church of Scotland. In 1942, the two churches were united under one minister and one Session. Worship continued in both until 1945, when the South Church was closed and it and its' manse reverted to the superiors of the ground. The North Church became again the only church in the parish, and was renovated in 1946. Services continued there until the 1990's, when problems of upkeep caused the church to be closed and worship to be transferred to Fern,although the churchyard is still used for burials. Pictish stones were found built into the old Church and in the grounds of the Manse and nearby was a Holy Well dedicated to Saint Aidan suggesting Christian worship from a very early time.

Tannadice Church

There has almost certainly been a place of worship on the present site of the Church in Tannadice since the 7th century, if not the 5th century. It was probably a Celtic foundation of St Adamnan (the name was later adapted to St Arnold), who was the biographer of his kinsman St. Columba. He is known to have travelled extensively in Angus in the conversion of the Celtic Church to Roman usages. Read More.
