Statement of Interest

This former Free Church of Scotland was converted to 4 luxury flats in the early 1980s. The spire was removed on conversion but much of the main exterior fabric of the church remains. The war memorial, originally sited in the churchyard was relocated when the churchyard was made into an elevated car park. The war memorial is listed separately.
