history |
The church of Fordoun, prior to the reformation, was a mensal kirk of the Archbishop of St Andrews and was dedicated to St Palladius. In 1961 Glenbervie and Fordoun were linked together and a further linkage followed in 1980 with Fettercairn. The kirk session of West Mearns was later formed when the three linked parishes were united together in 1994. The kirk session of Fordoun sat within the Presbytery of Fordoun and later Brechin and Fordoun, until by Act of Assembly in 1961, the Presbytery of Arbroath, the Presbytery of Forfar and the Presbytery of Brechin and Fordoun were united under the name of the Presbytery of Angus and Mearns. |
