Fine example of a rural parish Kirk, with outstanding views across open countryside.
Pettinain, Strathclyde
The site has been a place of worship since the early 12th century when David I established the Chapel of ‘Pedynane’. The present church dates principally from the 18th century with an earlier belfry of 1692 and an incised cross slab reused as a relieving lintel. Interesting walled burial ground.
