Lundie Parish Kirk The kirk has been much altered, most significantly by the addition of the Duncan Mausoleum, which is the unusual domed extension on the right. It is a category A listed building.

Whitewashed House This house stands a little apart on the eastern edge of the tiny kirkton of Lundie. It is quite difficult to photograph because there is a large fuel tank in the middle of the garden; but from this angle the tank is hidden by the shrubs by the roadside.
