Church, built in 1848 by A. and W. Reid, Elgin, and the graveyard was extended in 1872. It is a rectangular-plan harled church with gothic detailing, tooled ashlar dressings and margins, lattice-pane leaded glazing, angle buttresses and a slate roof. The building is orientated east/west. The west entrance gable has a centre, slightly recessed pointed-headed door within a shallow advanced saw-tooth gabled doorpiece. There are flanking narrow pointed-headed and hoodmoulded lancets and a substantial, square tooled ashlar belfry corbelled out from the front gable with a panelled base. Each face is pierced by paired hoodmoulded louvred vents, and there is a simple pyramidal stone roof with a small lucarne in each face and apex finial. The four-bay long north and south elevation is lit by hoodmoulded, plate Y-traceried windows with vesicas. The rear vestry is projecting from the north gable. The church has a plain interior with a three-sided gallery supported by slender painted cast-iron columns. The gallery front is embellished by moulded beading with fleur-de-lis detailing, the raised pulpit has a panelled back-board approached by steps and there is a 1914 Communion Table. On the outside west wall is a stone memorial plaque commemorating men of the parish who fell in the Second Word War (NJ75NW0031). The church is enclosed by a low coped rubble wall, with a war memorial in the south-west angle (NJ75NW0031). There are two Commonwealth War Graves within the graveyard: Private A. Buchan, 6th Battalion Gordon Highlanders, d. 21/04/1919, and Private W. B. Bremner, General Service Corps, d. 17/02/1946.
