They point to a health centre that they say struggles to accurately measure patients' blood pressure at times because the sound waves from the concerts disturb the readings in their machines.
The Church of Scotland said it expected the main church building would go up for sale later this year.Its congregation for Sunday services is small, in what is a quiet rural area of just a few hundred people.
The kirk hopes nearby Bervie Church will serve as the main focus of local worship.The Church of Scotland said that, in recent years, it had identified a need for "radical change against a backdrop of falling minister numbers, a decline in membership and a reduction in income".A statement said: "We believe a significant reduction in the number of buildings we own is necessary in order to deliver sustainable and realistic new expressions of ministry and church and to ensure all of our buildings are suitable for the needs of mission in the 21st century.
"As part of the process, the local presbytery has taken the decision to release Arbuthnott Church."The statement added: "There are no set dates as yet, but under the current mission plan, Arbuthnott Church would be released by the end of 2025."
Mr Roberts-McIntosh said the local community was determined to save a building that was so intrinsic to one of Scotland's most-loved novels.
As well as honouring the author, it is thought the building could also become a local hub for events such as concerts, aided by the acoustics of the church building.They found that Dr Boros-Lavack had missed opportunities to put him back on anti-psychotic medication, one member of the panel saying she had "not taken seriously enough" the concerns from Cauchi's mother in late-2019.
The panel also gave evidence at the inquest that Cauchi was "floridly psychotic" - in the active part of a psychotic episode – when he walked into the shopping centre.When questioned by the lawyer assisting the coroner, Dr Boros-Lavack stressed: "I did not fail in my care of Joel."
She had earlier told the inquest she believed Cauchi was not psychotic during the attack and that medication would not have prevented the tragedy.Dr Boros-Lavack said the attacks may have been "due to his sexual frustration, pornography and hatred towards women".
