It is the glen for wildlife, with a National Nature Reserve that attracts wildlife enthusiasts from all over the UK. The small former parish church is located at the southern limits of the small village of Clova in the heart of Glen Clova. The church was built in 1855 on the site of an earlier church dedicated to St Mary and dating to the early 18th century. The parish of Clova united with Cortachy in 1608 so an even earlier church may have existed here. Clova Church was built with a mixture of stone types. The principal (west and south) elevations are built with roughly-squared Aberdeen-bonded granite with rubble stone used on the other elevations. There are ashlar sandstone dressings and quoins (corner stones). The church is no longer a parish church but was bought by the community in 2006 and opened as a community church, carrying out eccumenical services and weddings.
