Details Corgarff Church, built in 1834 by Sir Charles Forbes, who donated the funds for the mission at Corgarff. No longer in ecclesiastical use (since 2005). Gothic, rectangular plan, church with a 4-bay nave, pinnacled bellcote on the north gable and four large pointed arched windows with original multi-pane astragalled glazing on east elevation. North and south gable elevations each have a 2-leaf timber door with transom light below a similar triangular window. Flanking square headed lights are blocked. It is built of squared and coursed rubble with contrasting pink granite long and short quoins and margins, and a granite ashlar base course. Interior is little altered with a pulpit at the centre of the east wall, horse-shoe gallery on Greek Doric columns, simple box pews, decorative cast iron oil lamp fittings. A small, later, pipe organ fronts the pulpit. The pews were removed in 2012. Church put up for sale August 2012. A standing building survey was carried out in 2015.
