Statement of Interest

Designed by joiner-architect Peter McKie as a Free Church in 1858-59. This is his only known work. It became a Roman Catholic Church and school in 1876, when a lower addition was built on the east gable. The church closed in 1994 and has since been used as a practice hall for Creetown Silver Band.
