History::
St. Rufus
Built 1816-19 in Neo-Perpendicular Gothic design to replace the original medieval church. Part of the sacrament house which survives is incorporated in the west porch. Named after St. Maelrubha. A former minister, Dr Matthew Stewart, was Moderator of the General Assembly in 1948.
Botriphnie
Built 1820; the ruins of its predecessor (1677) are in the churchyard. The church was known in early times as Fumac Kirk from the patron saint, Fumac. Noted for some long ministries - 3 consecutive ministers amount for 160 years.
Grange
About 200 years old - built 1795. Holds 300 worshipers, 200 on ground floor and 100 in gallery. Built on the site of a tower house built by Abbot Thomas of Kinloss Abbey.
