The church dates to the 12th century, and has a forestair leading to the east gallery entrance that is dated 1687 on the lintel. The building was extensively remodelled by Alexander Bowie between 1808 and 1810.[1] Stained-glass windows by Ballantine and Son and Ballantine and Gardiner were added between 1899 and 1910.[1][3] The churchyard includes early stones dated 1623 and 1624.
The church was in use until 1972 but is now in the care of Historic Scotland. It is visible to the public at no charge but under supervision.[4]
The building was used in the filming of the 2000 Scottish film Complicity.[5][6]
The 9th-century Dupplin Cross is inside the church;[1] it was placed there in 2002 after a protest to Historic Scotland at its removal from its original home in Dunning.
