**NEW FOR 2026**
The Chapel of the Garioch has a history stretching back almost 900 years. A private chapel stood at Old Logie from 1151 before becoming a parish church in 1583. A new church was built on the present site in 1599, with the current building dating from 1813. Over the centuries the church has remained at the heart of the local community and today offers visitors the opportunity to explore its rich architectural and historical heritage.
Visitors can discover a range of notable features including Pittodrie’s Yeat, built into the west entrance wall in 1626, the chancel stained-glass First World War Memorial Window of 1931, the Good Samaritan Mosaic Plaque, and the striking Burning Bush candelabra by Sean Crampton. Other highlights include brass rubbings of the Maiden Stone, Amanda Potts’ painting of St Moluag, who brought Christianity to the Garioch, the Clan Leslie Font installed in 2014, and the vaults and gravestones of local families. Members of the congregation will be on hand throughout the day to welcome visitors and share the story of the church and its many treasures.
