Deskford Church is a roofless 16th-century kirk in the hills behind Cullen, kept for one thing above all: its sacrament house, a richly carved stone niche reckoned among the finest in Scotland. It’s in the care of Historic Environment Scotland, open and free. Signposted off the road south of Cullen.
