Church Overview

Known locally as ‘The Church on the Green’, due to its location next to Stair Park, interestingly enough when it was repainted at the beginning of the 20th century the colour chosen was also green!

The church was built in 1839 as a chapel of ease and was raised to Quoad Sacra status in 1875. Rear hall was added in 1905-6 by architect William Kerr, this was further extended in the 1970s. It has two main stained glass windows by the firm of W & JJ Kier flanking either side of the central pulpit and several etched windows. The copper and enamel war memorial is the work of Mary Henderson of Glasgow and in 1925 an Ingram & Co of Edinburgh pipe organ was installed.

The church closed as part of the Church of Scotland’s rationalisation of its national property portfolio and was marketed for sale in October 2025
