King [[William I of Scotland|William the Lion]] bestowed the church of Kulter, "iuxta Abirdene", upon the [[Kelso Abbey|Abbey]] and monks of St Mary of [[Kelso, Scotland|Kelso]], about 1165–1199. The gift was afterwards confirmed by Mathew, Bishop of Aberdeen, within whose diocese the church sat.

Alan of Soltre, chaplain, who had probably been an ecclesiastic of the [[Soutra Aisle|hospital, or monastery of Soutra]], in [[Lothian]], was presented by the Abbot of Kelso, to the vicarage of the church of Culter, 1239–1240.

It was this agreement that changed the existing parish of Culter into two separate parishes with two separate names, the other being [[Maryculter]].
