Tullibody Old Kirk

Description

Tullibody Old Kirk is a ruined 12th-century church. It was rebuilt in the 16th century, and restored again in 1760. In 1904, St Serf's Parish Church was built to the north of the Old Kirk, which was afterwards disused.

The bellcote on the western gable dates from 1772, while the western windows and the south porch are 19th-century additions. Two doorways survive from the 16th century, including one dated 1539.

Significant monuments include that of George Abercromby (d.1699), and the Haig memorial on the north wall.

During the Scottish Reformation, William Kirkcaldy destroyed the bridge at Tullibody in an attempt to prevent French troops from retreating to the Siege of Leith at the end of January 1560. However, the French removed the roof of Tullibody Kirk and used it to bridge the Devon.
