Details Church, still in ecclesiastical use, built in 1843-4 as Newhills Free Church with later interior renovations. It became a parish church in 1929 when the church united with the Church of Scotland, and originally shared services were held between Bucksburn and Stoneywood churches. When Stoneywood Church was closed, the Bucksburn Church was renamed Bucksburn Stoneywood Church. It is a rubble-built church on a rectangular plan, the east gable with three gothic windows and a bellcote and ball finial. There is a single-storey vestry in the front with splayed angles and plain wood tracery. The interior is of an unusual plan with the pulpit at the gable nearest the road and features a horseshoe gallery with original painted pews. The iron columns supporting the gallery are also painted. There are two World War I memorial plaques within the church, one possibly moved here from another church.
