Crimond Church

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Crimond Church is a Christian, Church of Scotland Presbyterian church, located on the east side of the A90 road in the center of the village of Crimond, Aberdeenshire, Scotland at location NK0556

The church clock has an extra minute between the eleven and twelve making for 61 minutes in the hour. The clock is electric but the original movement is kept in the church as a display in memory of the late councillor Norman Cowie OBE who raised the funds for the new electric clock.

The church has a wind vane in the shape of a fish that was lost for many years but found recently and put back on top of the spire. The wind vane has been the target of vandalism in previous years, sporting bullet holes from an air rifle.
