Airth Old Parish Church is a ruined church in the grounds of Airth Castle at Airth, in the Falkirk council area in Scotland.
The building is now without a roof. It dates from various periods, including substantial parts from the Romanesque period. The quire steeple and north aisle were added by John Milne, the royal master mason, in 1647.[1] Access to the church is restricted for safety reasons. The graveyard includes a number of cast iron 'mortsafes', large coffin-shaped containers used to thwart the body snatchers in the early 19th century.[2]
The church is designated as a scheduled monument by Historic Environment Scotland.[3]
