Household Members: Elizabeth Pirie, age 4/ 1857.
. Drainie Old Parish Church was built in the mid 17th century & surrounded by a small graveyard. It was located on flat land near Lossiemouth but has been completely demolished, largely due to the fact that it was located close to where the runway of Lossiemouth RAF base was layed. A storm in the early 1950s apparently led to the collapse of the belfry & east gable & was then completely demolished, apart from some footings. These too have now been removed, leaving no surface remains of the church. - - -
