Corgarff Church, built in 1834 by Sir Charles Forbes, who donated the funds for the mission at Corgarff. No longer in ecclesiastical use (since 2005). Gothic, rectangular plan, church with a 4-bay nave, pinnacled bellcote on the north gable and four large pointed arched windows with original multi-pane astragalled glazing on east elevation. North and south gable elevations each have a 2-leaf timber door with transom light below a similar triangular window. Flanking square headed lights are blocked. It is built of squared and coursed rubble with contrasting pink granite long and short quoins and margins, and a granite ashlar base course. Interior is little altered with a pulpit at the centre of the east wall, horse-shoe gallery on Greek Doric columns, simple box pews, decorative cast iron oil lamp fittings. A small, later, pipe organ fronts the pulpit. The pews were removed in 2012. Church put up for sale August 2012. A standing building survey was carried out in 2015.
