St Vigeans Church, Medieval church in St Vigeans, Scotland
The stone church features round-pillared arcades, a west tower, and a polygonal apse constructed with local red sandstone materials.
The church site has maintained religious activities since the 8th century when followers of Saint Feichin established a monastery in this location.
The surrounding kirkyard contains numerous 18th-century headstones displaying regional folk art designs characteristic of the Angus area.
The church remains active for religious services and includes guided tours that explain its architectural elements and historical significance.
Local folklore suggests that an enslaved Kelpie provided the stones for the kirk's construction, leading to specific superstitions about church attendance.
