Church Overview

Built in 1806, this simple box plan church is built primarily of boulder rubble, with a tall piended roof with a short ridge. It possesses a a small gablet, with a bellcote topped with a ball finial.

There are two large gothick windows, with original basket tracery sashes, on the west wall and two gothick doorways on the south. Inside, visitors will find a good woodlined interior with a cove ceiling, with a horseshoe gallery held aloft on square columns. Some minor alterations and repairs were carried out in 1934 and the walls are painted and stencilled in places, covered by more modern paintwork on coving exposed in parts.

There is also a good original ogee canopied pulpit with precentors box and other original fittings, including door furniture. Other items of note include a 1760 John Mowat bell, a fragment of a medieval sculptured stone, some late 17th century wooden items and two badly damaged medieval effigies. 

Today the church is linked with the Meldrum Parish Church.
