St Vigeans Church

St Vigeans Church is a Church of Scotland parish church, serving the parish of the ancient village of St Vigeans on the outskirts of Arbroath, Angus, Scotland. The church was rebuilt in the 12th century but not consecrated until 1242 by David de Bernham, Bishop of St Andrews. The church underwent some alteration in the 15th century, but suffered very little change following the Scottish Reformation of 1560. A major restoration was carried out in 1871 by the Scottish Victorian architect Robert Rowand Anderson.

St Vigeans Sculptured Stones Museum

St Vigeans Sculptured Stones Museum, located in the Angus village of St Vigeans, houses an outstanding collection of Pictish carved stones. St Vigeans, close to Arbroath, was the centre of a royal estate in the Early Middle Ages, and was of religious importance as a monastery founded in the 8th century. The present-day St Vigeans Church was built in the 12th century, on a 40-foot (12 m) mound. The museum displays 38 carved stones which formerly stood upon the old church mound. Among the stones on display is the 9th-century Drosten Stone, a flat rectangular slab with a cross carved on one side and Pictish symbols on the other, and also bearing a Pictish inscription in Latin script. The museum is managed by Historic Scotland and is housed in two adjoining sandstone cottages close to the church. The 19th-century cottages are a category B listed building.

St Andrew's Parish Church is a congregation of the Church of Scotland located in Arbroath, Angus, Scotland. The church building was constructed in the late 1880s. In 2007 the church underwent extensive refurbishment, funded by donations from the congregation and a grant from the Church of Scotland. The final minister of the congregation (before it united) was the former Moderator of the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland, Right Rev. Martin Fair. The church houses the 7th Arbroath Boys' Brigade and other youth groups. It is now part of the larger Arbroath and District Church, an amalgamation of nine churches in Arbroath and the surrounding area. It is now a team ministry, with Christine Hay, Peter Philips and Judith MacLeod filling the three allocated ministry posts. The St Andrew's Church is still in use each Sunday for worship.
