Welcome - At the moment we are having some technical difficulties and although the buttons are not showing the links are working.  We apologise and hope to be fully back to normal soon.

Welcome to the Web Site of the Glens and Kirriemuir Old Parish Church which is updated regularly. 

We are a Congregation of the Church of Scotland situated in the Presbytery of Angus serving the northern half of Kirriemuir and the Angus Glens of Prosen, Clova, Doll and Moy as well as the communities of  Cortachy and Memus.

The Web Site will give you a general overview of the Congregation as well as details of our times of worship and other activities.

If you are in the area please come and visit us.  Our service times are on the Worship Times page and below.  The rest of what is going on during the week is below on the weekly intimations.

If you are planning a wedding have a look at our spectacular setting in Cortachy

The 2008 Photo Competition is underway and you can see the winning photos from this year.

There is an opportunity to listen to services from the previous 2 Sundays.  The page Hear a Service contains the files and it is  updated at some point during the week. We would appreciate feedback about this page, please let us know if you use it regularly or just occasionally and what you think of it. If you have any suggestions for improvements  please let us know.  The latest service is in a different format - mp3.  Please let us know what you think of this and whether it is an improvement.

The latest edition of In Touch, our newsletter and the Skein magazine have just been added.

There is an introduction to our ministers, Malcolm Rooney and Linda Stevens, for you to read.

A new website has just been created for West Angus Area Ministry - why not have a look

There are still some calendars left priced £1.
