Activities

Field Visit (August 1989)

Three fragments of tracery in re-use in the form of a cross-head are set on a modern shaft (at NO 2287 2749), at the foot of a woodland walk (the Yew Walk) and within the grounds of Fingask Castle (NO22NW 7.00). The tracery is of fine quality and probably of 15th-century date; its origin is unknown. Set on a pedestal beside it, there is an octagonal stone font which is said to have come from Kinnaird old parish church (NO23NW 6).

Visited by RCAHMS (IMS) August 1989.
