Parish church and graveyard, still in ecclesiastical use. It was built in 1803, and repaired and enlarged in 1824. It is depicted on the 1st and 2nd edition OS maps as a rectangular church with a graveyard enclosure to the south. Current maps show the graveyard has been extended to the north. It is a small, four-bay, symmetrical gabled church, with gothic windows and a gable head bellcote. It is grey harled, with sandstone ashlar quoin strips and window and door margins. The principal south elevation facing the road has two large Y-tracery windows with timber mullions to the inner bays, and timber-panelled entrance doors with pointed arch fanlights surmounted by quatrefoil lights to the outer bays. There are small pointed-arch windows to each gable. On the west gable there is a simple bellcote with pierced decoration, a pointed finial and a small bell. There is a pointed stone finial to the east gable. There is a graded grey Scottish slate roof with stone ridge tiles and ashlar-coped skews. The interior is recorded as being little-altered in 1980, with a pulpit at the east end and a panelled gallery at the west. There is a marble memorial to the Reverend David Inglis on the north wall. The graveyard is roughly rectangular, and is enclosed by a random rubble boundary wall. The gravestones mainly date from the late-19th century, with a small number of earlier stones. The church is reported as having been built from stone taken from the outbuildings of Invermark Castle (NO48SW0006). The churchyard contains the Commonwealth war grave of Flying Officer William George Strachan, Royal Air Force.
