Full Description
Former Parish Church, now in residential use. It is a single storey, harled, 2-bay, rectangular-plan church built in 1800. There is a simple tripartite pointed arch window on the W elevation, with a dressed granite birdcage bellcote with bell at gable apex. The east elevation has a central, shouldered, advanced stack flanked by narrow caernarvon windows. It has a grey slate roof, with stone ridges, dressed granite skews and tooled granite gable stacks with assorted clay cans. The interior is simple, whitewashed, with timber pews and a quatrefoil detailed communion table. There is a memorial plaque on the south elevation in remembrance of the Reverend Robert Neil, parish minister for 44 years until 1891. This church replaced an earlier parish church at Bridge of Gairn. Also known as 'Kirkstyle'. Photographic recording was carried out in March 2019 ahead of proposed conversion to residential use.
