Details Parish church aligned north-south with a large burial ground to the south, which drops downhill to the edge of modern housing. Built in the 19th century, the church was designed by Archibald Simpson, 1835-6. Constructed of harled rubble walls and granite dressing stones and surrounds. The wide roof is slated. The church is a fairly simple rectangular building with a projecting south bay which contains the doors into the church and the stairway up to the gallery. There are Gothic Revival features, including the pinnacled buttresses, pointed-arch (lancet) windows and pinnacled bellcote. Within the burial ground are the Commonwealth war graves of Private Alexander Thomson, Black Watch, and Signalman Harold Davie, Royal Corps of Signals.
