  Episcopalians have worshipped at All Souls since 1896. Prior to that, they had gathered at a chapel on the Rossie Estate, near Inchture. Rossie Chapel was used from 1866 until the death of the estate owner, Lord Kinnaird in 1878. Lord Kinnaird's widow, Lady Frances, opened a temporary chapel which was used until the main focus of mission activity moved to Invergowrie, where a temporary building was fitted out as a Church in 1883. By this time plans were well under way to build the present Church, with the first foundation stone being laid in 1892. Lady Frances provided a benefaction for the building of the Church which was dedicated as All Souls in 1896.
