The Friends Of Loudoun Kirk

About Us

The Friends Of Loudoun Kirk (FOLK) was established as a charity in 1994, and work in close conjunction with Historic Scotland, with the purpose of preserving the historic site of Loudoun Kirk. The Kirk's significance can be noted, both from increased tourism within the surrounding area, and perhaps more strikingly from a gift of a commemorative plaque from the Belgian S.A.S., who trained nearby at Loudoun Castle, during the Second World War. However, Loudoun Kirk is currently in ruin and is continuing to deteriorate both naturally and as a result of vandalism. Consequently action is required to halt further damage and repair existing problems. Our aims are the restoration and preservation of the Kirk. This we hope to achieve through:

1) Restoring and preserving the Vault and Headstones.
2) Securing the Vault and the Graveyard.
3) Ensuring the future maintenance of both Kirk and Kirkyard.
