In Focus
St Mary's
Dalmahoy is a beautiful little church standing close to the entrance to the grounds of Dalmahoy
House, now the Dalmahoy Hotel. Only a hundred yards from the main A71 and less than three miles

St Mary's Dalmahoy was established by the then
residents of Dalmahoy House, Lord and Lady Aberdour, in 1850. (
