A Little History
(Source "ROTHES PAST AND PRESENT")
In 1782 the Parish Church of Dundurcas, the ruin of which still stands in Dundurcas Churchyard, was closed, the parish being suppressed by order of the Boundaries Commission, and the greater part of it being annexed to the parish of Rothes, the remainder to Boharm. It is recorded that two slaters came to remove the roof from the old church, as a means of ending the activities of "an insane preacher," who continued service there after the union of the parish with Rothes. The women of the parish swooped down upon the slaters and stoned them from the churchyard. They tried to escape by wading across the Spey, in order to return to Keith, but one was drowned in the get-away.
