DescriptionThe Parish Church of Saltoun - geograph.org.uk - 790408.jpg
English: The Parish Church of Saltoun The present church was built in 1805 in the Gothic style and funded by John Fletcher Campbell in memory of his ancestors - the Fletchers of Saltoun. Perhaps the best known minister was Gilbert Burnett who went on to be Bishop of Salisbury. (Note the spire at Saltoun is reminiscent - in proportion - of the spire at Salisbury Cathedral.) The great Scottish politician, Andrew Fletcher is buried at Saltoun. For his great fight against the union with England, Andrew became known, in his lifetime and beyond, as 'The Patriot' There have been, at least, two other churches at Saltoun, dating back to the 12th century. The present kirk stands in the village of East Saltoun in the heart of the Parish.
