Church Overview

This is the third Findhorn village, the site of the previous two now lying under the sea. Findhorn consists of rows of fishermen’s cottages, gable-end to the water in the local manner. The church was built as Kinloss Free Church in 1843 to a design by John Urquhart of Forres. A handsome building in stone with a pretty tower and lunette windows along the sides.

Its interior is galleried along three sides, each one supported on cast iron columns with lily-leafed capitals. Repaired inside and out by architect John Milne in 1872, its square pulpit with Gothic detailing and pointed-headed backboard dates to this refurbishment, though the cast-iron balustrades leading to the short staircase to the platform have been reused, and date from early 19th century. It original bell, inscribed “Free Church Findhorn 1843” is now located inside the church.
