Full Description
Church, constructed of red granite, surmounted by a belfry on the west gable. Built in 1870 by Miss McPherson Grant for her domestic chaplain, Canon Charles Jupp, to provide religious ordinances to Episcopalian residents in Speyside. It served as a church on Sundays and a school throughout the week, until 1901 when the new Craigellachie Primary School was opened. Thereafter, it became a Presbyterian church. The tower and clock were added in 1953.
