Remains of the old parish church of Bervie, built in 1781 of local red sandstone, and surrounding historic graveyard. Only the west gable survives of old church, which is 8 m long with walls 0.6 m thick. The Gothic central doorway and pointed arch window above are still visible. The rough layout of the church, which was a small building, can be seen in the grass. A small building has been erected against the inner wall face. A fairly large graveyard surrounds the remains and is contained within a large boundary wall. The parish of Bervie was dis-joined from Kinneff in early 17th century. The church was in use until 1837. The graves include that of Hercules Linton designer of the Cutty Sark. A plaque at Linton's grave was unveiled in November 2015.
