Description

Dunbog Parish Church was constructed around 1803. It had seating for 200 people, and in the 1840s had on average about 135 communicants. At this time the minister of Dunbog described the church as being ‘in excellent repair’. Similarly the early nineteenth-century Topographical Dictionary of Scotland praised the parish church as being ‘a neat and well-arranged edifice’. The church was enlarged in the 1850s. It also had a tower and spire added in the 1880s. Dunbog Parish Church ceased to serve a religious function in the 1980s and around the 1990s was converted into a dwelling.
