Cruden Parish Church

St Olaf's Church (also known as Old Parish Church) is a Category B listed building in Cruden, Aberdeenshire, Scotland, built in 1776. It was designated in 1971. It is a Church of Scotland parish church. The church's twin conically roofed towers were added in 1833 by John Smith. According to historia

n Charles McKean, this "transformed this delightful church from an otherwise standard granite box kirk, customary birdcage bellcote topping the west gable, into a fantasy". The interior retains the original 1834 pulpit, a 12th-century baptismal font, and a 1519 Dutch bell.
