Barnweill Church, Medieval church ruins in Craigie, Scotland
The stone remains of Barnweill Church stand on the slopes of Barnweill Hill, featuring architectural elements from its pre-reformation construction period.
The parish church operated until 1689 when it was officially closed, transferring most of its religious functions to the newly formed Parish of Stair.
