Description
Fyvie Parish Church is at the east end of Fyvie, on the south side of the B9005. Set in the east wall of the church are three worn Pictish class I symbol stones, all have been trimmed.
The Rothiebrisbane stone was found in use as a drain cover on the road (now the B992) running south from Kirkton of Auchterless. The nearest to complete of the 3 stones at Fyvie. On it is a 'horseshoe symbol' over a 'disc symbol'.
Fyvie Church also contains important stained glass by L. C. Tiffany. South-east of the church in a railed enclosure, marked by an obelisk is the old tombstone of "Mill of Tifty's Annie" (1673), subject of the eponymous ballad.
