Church History

The current parish chuch of Knockando was built in the mid 1990s on the site of at least two previous buildings. The later church, built in 1757 and repaired and altered in the 19th and 20th centuries, was completely destroyed by fire in 1990 and the remains had to be demolished for safety. The design of the new church was intentionally sympathetic to the appearance and layout of the church gutted by fire and is built on the same footprint.

The church is surrounded to the south and west by a large graveyard, which has been extended in the 19th or early 20th century. A former watch house, west of the church building, was recently converted into a small chapel, with chairs and a lectern inside.

The church and graveyard are located in an area of open countryside with large arable fields and patches of woodland. The small village of Knockando lies a short distance to the west and the large former manse stands alongside to the north.
