The old Parish of Deskford lies inland from Cullen and comprises extensive farmland as well as the hamlets of Berryhillock and Kirktown of Deskford. There is a record of an ancient chapel at Skeith, Deskford, dedicated to Our Lady of Pity, in which her wooden image was once preserved. For many centuries, however, the Parish Kirk dedicated to St. John the Evangelist was situated at Kirktown of Deskford within its churchyard. Now a roofless ruin in the care of Historic Scotland, it is of considerable historic interest, and is well worth a visit, particularly on account of its Sacrament House, or Aumbry.
