Details Church still in use, built as a Free Church 1874-77 to replace a smaller building. It became a parish church after the congregation reunited with the Church of Scotland. Built in an Early English Gothic style, it is a large building comprising two-stage tower with broached stone spire, nave, chapel, vestry and session house. North facing front elevation and tower are of ashlar granite, the other elevations of coursed and roughly tooled pink and grey granite with polished ashlar dressings. The chapel and vestry was added in 1936, the memorial apse to the chapel in 1950. North gable front has central pointed arch widow with trefoil plate tracery and latticed glazing below which are twin pointed arch doorways. A modern glass and steel-framed entrance porch has been added. Side elevations of the church have 5 tall lancet windows with latticed glazing. The chapel is single-storey with large rectangular windows. The interior is much altered, including by the creation of the Acorn Centre.
