Parish notes

Spoken of as a church belonging to Arbroath in the early 17th c., this was a chapel, which may have possessed quasi-parochial rights. It was erected in 1501 and did not become fully parochial until 1609, when it was disjoined from Panbride PNB, St Vigeans ASV and Inverkeilor INK, all of which had belonged to Arbroath (Assumptions 330v, RMS ii no.3684; vi no.2075 [not 2705; columns 5 and 7]). Cowan 1967, 28. No changes mentioned in Shennan 1892.
