Farnell Parish

Farnell Parish Church was built in 1806 by James Playfair alongside the remains of the Old Parish Church. It is a striking building with several Gothic Revival architectural details. The church was built with red sandstone ashlar blocks, now heavily weathered in places. The roof is slated. The church stands within a large graveyard in the small rural community of Farnell. A number of Pictish stones and long cist burials have been discovered in the graveyard, attesting to the site’s historic past.
