About St Drostan's Church, Insch
All that remains of St Drostan's Church is the west gable, topped by an ornate 17th Century pedimented bellcote. The bellcote features carved uprights and finials, dog-tooth detailing, scroll moulding, and the initials "M/L" for the Leslie family.A carved skewputt on the south side of the gable is initialled and dated "AR 162-." At the foot of the gable lies the Radulfus stone, a medieval tombstone believed to commemorate Radulfus, chaplain of the Bishop of Aberdeen between 1172 and 1194 AD. The stone is a simple rectangle incised with a cross and circle, bearing the inscription "ORATE PRO ANIMA RADULFI SACERDOTIS" (Pray for the soul of Ralph the priest).To the left of the Radulfus stone is the partial figure of a carved stone knight, dating from the late 13th or early 14th Century AD.On-street parking is available.
