Church, still in ecclesiastical use, hall built in 1874-75 by J Russell Mackenzie with the tower, galleries and hall added in 1881. It is a single-storey and basement, galleried, shallow cruciform-plan Gothic church with the hall adjoining to the north and is constructed from yellow sandstone ashlar with a base course, dividing string courses, pointed-arched openings, chamfered reveals, an eaves course and crowstepped gables. There are predominantly diamond-pane leaded windows and stained glass. The grey slate roof has lead ridges, there is a purple-grey roof to the apse and a lead roof to the spire. Stone skews have decorative skewputts and a diamond-plan wallhead stack has a circular can. Internally there are decoratively panelled galleries to the south and also in the east and west transepts. The organ in the south gallery was installed in 1890. The semi-circular chancel apse to the north has a decorative Gothic rood screen fronted by a pulpit reached by steps. There is an ambulatory to the north of the church including stairs to east and west galleries, with iron balusters.
