What is recorded here
Ellon Parish Church stands on Castle Road, guarding a cross-incised stone from the early Medieval period. The stone marks a place where human hands shaped faith before written records, yet the church itself may keep outsiders at a distance. What is clear is that the cross still points upward, unchanged by time or memory.
