Arngask, 6 miles from Kinross, contains the villages of Damhead [since re-named Glenfarg] and Duncrivie. The parish is four miles from east to west, and about three from north to south.
Since 1891, Arngask parish has been part of Perthshire, now Perth and Kinross but, before then, when a Royal Commission made drastic changes in county boundaries, the parish was in the three counties of Perthshire, Fife, and Kinrossshire.In 1890, the Parish Church was in Fife, the Free Church in Kinrossshire, and the School in Perthshire! The word Gask occurs fairly often in Perthshire place-names. It does not appear, however, that there is any connection between Arngask and any of the other Gasks in the county, like Trinity Gask, or Findo Gask.
The original church was a private chapel of the Balvaird family, and in 1282 was granted to Cambuskenneth Abbey.
