Known locally as the High Church. It was built as the Free Church soon after the Disruption of 1843 and is a good example of an early Free Church building, it was later the United Free Church, and remained in use until 1958, when the congregation merged with that of the Parish Church. It is now used as the church hall. The bell cost £20 and was a gift of Miss Dunlop of Dunlop. The church is situated prominently at the top end of the village, and makes a significant contribution to the streetscape.
