Anwoth old kirk, 17th century church ruins in Dumfries and Galloway, Scotland
The rectangular stone structure of Anwoth Old Kirk retains its walls with a bellcote atop the west gable, measuring approximately 20 meters in length.
Built in 1626, the church served the parish until 1826, when a newer building replaced it as the main religious center for the local population.
Minister Samuel Rutherford preached at Anwoth Old Kirk from 1627 until 1636, leading to the construction of a granite obelisk monument near the site.
Visitors can access the church ruins and surrounding graveyard throughout the year, with parking available near the entrance to the historical site.
The church graveyard contains a cross slab dating to 1100, discovered during excavations in the late nineteenth century.
