The old parish church, a roofless 16th century building currently in poor condition, survives on a mound in the old kirkyard, by the Gowrie Burn.

This site was formerly close to the sea; much land has been reclaimed from the Firth of Tay in recent times, and it is now some way inland.

An artistically important and well-preserved cross-slab carved on five faces from this site is on display in the Museum of Scotland in Edinburgh.

Dating from the early 9th century, the front shows a cross decorated with interlace, the back three stylised clerics, one holding an object which may be a charter with appended seal, above two dragon-like creatures.

The quarry at Invergowrie supplied important sites around the UK, stone being included in the base of Nelson's column and St Katherine's Docks in London.

ScotRail manages Invergowrie railway station and provides a roughly hourly train service on the Glasgow–Dundee line.
