context_page_description: Dunnottar Parish Church is a parish church of the Church of Scotland, serving Stonehaven in the south of Aberdeenshire, Scotland. It is within the Church of Scotland's Presbytery of Kincardine and Deeside.
context_section_description: The church, in its present location, was re-built in 1852 and later extended in 1869.
  It again underwent major reconstruction in 1903, which made it considerably larger when a nave and chancel were added, turning the previously rectangular building into a cruciform shape. 
  The building recently underwent more renovations, this time to make it more accessible, and to include a multi-purpose activity room.
  The churchbell which was cast in 1793 by Andrew Lawson, the last of the Old Aberdeen founders is supposed to be one of the best examples of his work, F. C. Eeles in his “Church bells of Kincardineshire” speaks of it as follows:
  “Insignificant though they are, those few fleur-de-lys used on the Dunnottar bell are perhaps one of the very latest survivals of the ecclesiastical art of the Middle Ages. This is perfectly possible because founders' stamps were handed on from one founder to another and in England there are several cases of the use of medieval stamps at the end of the 17th century. Moreover, in the foreign mouldings and outline of the Dunnottar bell, we see a lingering survival of that continental influence which ever since the English wars in the 14th century had held such sway in Scotland.”
  The Marischal Aisle (nowadays a Mausoleum), sits in the current church grounds and was first build in 1582 by George Keith, the 5th Earl Marischal of Scotland and founder of Marischal College in Aberdeen.
