St. Ninians

A document dating from 1147 refers to "the church of Egglis St Ninians with its chapels of Dunipace and Lithbert".

The Relief congregation originally at the 'toll' continues today as St Ninians[5] United Free Church of Scotland.

In recent years, the old steeple, which was built in 1734[1] but houses a 17th-century bell, became structurally unsafe but has been restored, with funding from St. Ninians Old Parish Church, local community donations, and Historic Scotland.

As it stands, this tower appears to be a late 17th- to early 18th-century structure, but is likely to be of much earlier origin (possibly 11th-12th century).

In October 2017, one of the gateways and part of the wall to the Category A listed graveyard[6] was demolished in a collision with a vehicle.

The area is served by a strip of shops and take-aways and other amenities next to the busy Borestone Roundabout, known locally as "the toll".
