The 12th-century structure was extensively remodelled by Alexander Bowie between 1808 and 1810. The church's stained-glass windows are the work of Ballantine and Gardiner,[3] dating to the early 20th century.[1]
The church was in use until 1972 but is now in the care of Historic Scotland. It is visible to the public at no charge but under supervision.[4]
The 9th-century Pictish stone, the Dupplin Cross, is inside the church.[1]
The churchyard includes early dated stones 1623 and 1624.
The building was used in the filming of the Scottish film Complicity.
Dupplin Cross
The church is home to the 9th-century Dupplin Cross, which was placed there in 2002 after a protest to Historic Scotland at its removal from its original home in Dunning.[1]
