Fin gammal kyrka

Kaunis keskikokoinen milteipä suuri ristikirkko jossa samaan aikakauteen valmistunut kellotapuli. Jonka on piirtänyt Charles Bass intendentinkonttorissaan 1828. Kirkko rakennettiin Heikki Kuorikosken johdolla 1828-1829. Erikoisuutena on kirkkoon yhdyskäytävällä liitetty kellotapuli joka on Carl Ludvig Engelin piirtämä ja rakennettu 1831-1832. Kirkko on suunniteltu 800 hengelle ja on pohjapinta-alaltaan 600m2. Kellotapulin kellot ovat vanhempi kuin itse tapuli, valettu 1723 sekä 1817. Erittäin hyväkuntoinen kaunis kirkko jota ei ole muutoksilla pilattu. Hyvinkin katsomisen sekä tutustumisen arvoinen kirkko ruotsinkielisellä pohjanmaalla, joka tuo pieniä eroja tyylissä verratessa suomenkielisiin alueisiin. Myös hautausmaakin kannattaa katsella.

Easter Aquhorthies Stone Circle

Easter Aquhorthies stone circle, located near Inverurie, is one of the best-preserved examples of a recumbent stone circle, and one of the few that still have their full complement of stones. It consists of a ring of nine stones, eight of which are grey granite and one red jasper. Two more grey granite stones flank a recumbent of red granite flecked with crystals and lines of quartz. The circle is particularly notable for its builders' use of polychromy in the stones, with the reddish ones situated on the SSW side and the grey ones opposite.

The placename Aquhorthies derives from a Scottish Gaelic word meaning 'field of prayer', and may indicate a 'long continuity of sanctity' between the Stone or Bronze Age circle builders and their much later Gaelic successors millennia later. The circle's surroundings were landscaped in the late 19th century, and it sits within a small fenced and walled enclosure. A stone dyke, known as a roundel, was built around the circle some time between 1847 and 1866–7.
