Blackford Parish Church marks 150 years

Jun 26 2009 by Lynn Duke, Strathearn Herald

THE main event to mark Blackford Parish Church’s 150th anniversary took place on Saturday.

Around 200 guests attended a garden party in the church grounds to celebrate the historic occasion.

Mr Drummond Moray of Abercairny, whose ancestor was the laird who built the kirk, was invited to plant a commemorative tree before guests enjoyed a delicious strawberry tea.

Inside the church, a major attraction was the display organised by Blackford Historical Society. The many old photographs of the village and its residents proved to be a great talking point.
