Parish church, possibly built on site of earlier church, and associated graveyard. Built in 1881, it is a rectangular plan, 4-bay church in the Gothic style, aligned east-west with the session house/vestry adjoining to north. It is constructed of squared and coursed stugged whinstone, with coursed and pinned rubble to the north and west walls with contrasting stugged ashlar dressings in pale pink granite. It has pointed-arch bipartite windows with ashlar hood-moulds with rosette label stops. The interior is simple, with grained woodwork, a blind arcaded timber gallery to the east end on cast-iron columns, and a coomb ceiling with trefoil motif to collar braces. The belfry on the gable top of the session house bears the date 1638 and is thought to be from an earlier church on the site. The graveyard is framed with coped rubble retaining walls, with a re-used urn finial marking the gatepier to west. A number of fine 17th and 18th century table-top gravestones can be found in the graveyard. Inverkeithny War Memorial, in the form of a decorative plaque, is included on one of the internal church walls. The churchyard also contains a memorial to Peter Morrison (1829-1875), a preacher and Schoolmaster at Inverkeithny for 38 years, the memorial erected by the school.
