Muchalls Episcopal church, St Ternan's, was built in 1831, and enlarged in 1865 and 1870. Four predecessors - the oldest dating from 1624 - stood 1 mile to the S. Muchalls Castle, on a rising-ground, is a venerable edifice; and was long the seat of the baronet family of Burnett of Leys.—Ord. Sur., sh. 67, 1871.
