Church Overview
A neat little Neo-Norman church, built of red sandstone with a slate roof, designed by noted Edinburgh architect David Bryce in 1857. It possesses a nave, chancel with apse and a striking square tower that’s capped with a pyramidal roof.
The stone font of 1863 was moved to St Ninian’s from St Margaret’s, Meigle. Three windows in the chancel are by O’Connor (c.1860) while the wheel window, in the west gable, is by the firm Clayton & Bell. The organ (1909) is by John R Miller. Marble and brass memorials can be found throughout. A swift nesting box has been installed in the tower as part of the congregation’s nature conservancy efforts.
