Kirk of Saint Ternan, Arbuthnott, Aberdeenshire3D Model
This red sandstone medieval kirk rests on a quiet shelf above the Bervie Water. The oldest part is the chancel, which was dedicated by David de Bernham on 3 August 1242. The Lady Chapel, now the Arbuthnott Aisle, projects southwards from the chancel; this and the bell tower at the west end of the nave were built by Sir Robert Arbuthnott of that ilk in 1500. They are excellent examples of late medieval Scottish church architecture, with strong, tall buttresses and well-cut ashlar walls. Above the Lady Chapel is the Priest’s Room, remarkably unspoiled, with stone window seats and a squint to the chapel.
