The parishes of Lundie and Fowlis Easter were joined on 31 January 1618 as Fowlis and Liff. On 7 June 1953 they were disjoined when Fowlis united with Liff and Benvie under the name of Fowlis and Liff. The parishes of Lundie and Muirhead and Fowlis and Liff were linked on 17 May 1995. The church of Lundie and Muirhead of Liff is in the Presbytery of Dundee, which was in the synod of Angus and Mearns until the abolition of synods in 1992.

Lundie and Muirhead of Liff: After the union of Lundie and Muirhead of Liff in 1953, the minister of Muirhead and Liff became minister of the new congregation. Both church buildings continued to be used for worship. |
