Balmerino Parish Church

Balmerino Parish Church

Balmerino Parish Church opened in 1811. Previously the residents of Balmerino had worshipped at an older church in Kirkton of Balmerino. In 1838 Balmerino Parish Church was described as ‘a plain building without any ornament’. However, in the 1880s the church was remodelled to provide more seating and additional exterior and interior decoration was added at this time. In the 1930s the Church of Scotland united Balmerino with the nearby congregation at Gauldry. Worship continued in both churches until the early twenty-first century. Balmerino is now united with the parish of Wormit.
