Kilbucho Church

[Lodger]

Does anyone know if the ruins of Kilbucho Parish church still stand? Would there be a burial ground there?
I am researching the Sinclair family from Culter (Legholmshiels farm) and one of the births was registered in both Culter and Kilbucho OPRs in 1785. The mother's name was Carrick and I wondered if perhaps her family came from Kilbucho. The child was Mungo Sinclair and I suspect his maternal grandfather may have been Mungo Carrick.
I have found a lovely tombstone in Culter churchyard for the Sinclair family.

Lodger, this must be a later Kilbucho Parish Church, built in 1804. www.scotlandschurchestrust.org.uk/church/broughton-glenholm-kilbucho-parish-church

....and the ruins of the previous church, with a small photo http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kilbucho and also www.geograph.org.uk/photo/278847

Interesting comment from the geograph.org photo link:

Kilbucho Church
I suspect the cemetery was used long after the church fell into ruin as there are several gravestones from the turn of the 19th century, unless the building has deteriorated rapidly - quite possible at 1000 feet up.
There are worse locations as a last resting place.
Hill in the distance is Cardons Hill.

The dates of burial mentioned above are supported also by www.scotlandsplaces.gov.uk/record/rcahms/48709/kilbucho-old-parish-church-and-graveyard/rcahms

Thanks Monica, I know it isn't the Broughton church, it's the ancient ruined one not far from the village of Broughton, on the road to Culter. If there is a burial ground there I will take a drive down as soon as the weather improves.
I also know that Kilbucho is pronounced "Kilbucko", so that's a start!
