Roman Catholic church, still in ecclesiastical use, built in 1905 by Archibald Macpherson. It is an Aisleless Scots Gothic church constructed from pink squared and snecked rock-faced granite with grey granite dressings, with a grey graded slate roof and two lateral wallhead stacks to the south. It has a steeply stepped base course and a grey granite stepped and pinnacled parapet. Pink squared and snecked rock-faced granite with grey granite dressings. There is an attached single-storey and attic presbytery to the south and a gabled entrance porch to the north-west. To the east is a dominant three-sided canted apse with a central upper level niche containing a carved stone statue of St Nathalan. To the gabled west end there are two hoodmoulded geometric windows with circular window above. The presbytery has predominantly timber four-pane casement windows, some of which are bipartite with granite central mullions. There is a largely original simple whitewashed interior with an open timber ceiling. It has a nave with small north and south transepts, with timber dado panelling to the sanctuary and transepts and timber pews, altar and pulpit. To the west is a raised timber gallery, and simple coloured glass to the west end window with a fleur-de-lis motif. The presbytery has a largely original floor plan, with timber shutters and chimneypieces and predominantly four-panel timber doors. The boundary walls to the east, south and west are of rubble granite with rubble coping, and to the east with saddleback coping and square gatepiers.
