As the principal church in the village of Castleton of Braemar, this building was of major local importance, and it is among the older surviving buildings in the village. In addition the fact that this was one of four churches in Braemar by the end of the nineteenth century reflects the dynamic of the community and its divisions over religion. Despite change of use and the insertion of new window openings to the N and S elevations, the exterior still retains much of its historic character.
