Details Site of a United Free Church, built in 1900 by Thoms and Wilkie of Dundee, architects. It was in religious use for only a short period, closing for worship around 1940. It was taken over by the Education Authority in the 1950s and used by Edzell's school in Church Street, the nave being used a gymnasium and the attached hall as a nursery. It was later used as a store, but it was demolished in the later 20th century and housing has been built on the site. No trace of the church remains, but the gateway on the corner of the Glebe and Dalhousie Street appears to survive. The church was built in a modern Movement neo-perpendicular style, with a squat battered tower. It is constructed from bullfaced masonry with ashlar dressings and shows the influence of C.R. Mackintosh.
