Church Overview

Original Gothic design by Clifford & Lunan begun in 1923, but following delays was not completed until 1928-29, after works were taken over by the firm of Watson, Salmon & Gray. The interruption in the project is visually discernible in a slight change in the stone colour around the building, particularly on its distinctive square tower.

The church’s size is enhanced by its low porch and range of vestries. The south transept contains a display of the church’s history over 800 years and its north transept was converted in 1962 to the McKellar Memorial Chapel. It possesses a superb hammerbeam roof and contains a tapestry of The Last Supper by Charles Marshall, stained glass by James Crombie, Douglas Hamilton and R Anning Bell, and an 1890 organ by John R Miller, that was restored and converted to electro-mechanical action 1994.

Final Service held in November 2024. Church now Closed
