The parishes of Aberdalgie and Dupplin were united in 1618.
Aberdalgie. This was one of several parishes in which, for some years after 1560, the Romanist (Roman Catholic) party was able to keep possession of the church, and to make it impossible to hold Protestant services.
Dupplin. In 1564 it was reported to the Secret Council that the kirk of the Rectory of Dupplin was kept closed, so that the Reformed worship could not be held there.
