Having your foundation stone laid by a grandmother of one of the planet's richest media moguls, a grandfather having been minister, evidently does not even give much help to an old kirk when looking for a buyer.
Having been closed in December 2007 - the congregation of Cruden using only their Old Kirk building, since that time - and in what must be quite an unusual move the Church of Scotland itself has applied for (and received) planning permission to demolish the building... then replace it with 9 semi-detached homes. Obviously they do not intend to do so themselves, but it will be to improve the saleability of the property and plot, being marketed to developers for around £160,000:

Anyone up in that neck of the woods know if or where the tablet has been or will be relocated? I spotted it on the CofS property page then followed-up on here.
