Statement of Interest

Ecclesiastic building (former Church of Scotland) converted to residential property in 1993 with a swimming pool now occupying the nave. The church was founded to mark the amalgamation of the parishes of Logie and Coldstone. The location of the Newkirk is believed to have been founded by the ministers of Logie and Coldstone walking from the ancient parish kirkyards and setting the new building where they met half way.
