Details Remains of a church, and a graveyard still in use. The church probably dates from the 13th century, although it was significantly rebuilt and altered in the 15th century and later. The Pert parish was combined with Logie in either 1610 or 1615, although the church was not abandoned until 1775. The church is rectangular in plan measuring 43 feet x 19 feet (13 metres x 6 metres) internally, and stands to wall height at each gable end. There are two narrow lancet windows with pointed arches in the east gable, and one in the west. There is a skewputt on the east gable incised with a hammer and circular mark. A belfry on the west gable bears the date 1676. There are blocked doors in the north and south walls with square lintels and rounded shoulders. The church is in the north-west corner of the graveyard, which has a part retaining rubble-built wall. There are gravestones from the 17th century onwards, including an Adam and Eve stone to John Presiack and a Buchanan Stone with a bas relief of Death and a crowned angel blowing a serpentine trumpet.
