Gothic church, the original 1794 building now much re-modelled; it was "repaired" in 1831 and "received additions in 1885" (Groome). Some work looks later still. Gabled, tall and rectangular-plan with full-height narrow jamb on south flank capped by tall and finialed leaded belfry; parapetted square porch in re-entrant angle. Y-traceried and key-stoned tall windows to flanks (?Gothic tracery set in Georgian round arches). In west gable, rank of small lights at ground, larger round-arched gallery window above filled with simplified loop tracery. Harled; ashlar margins; slate roof. Low rear wing and quoins at east. Low boundary wall, plain iron railings. Interior not inspected for 1989 resurvey.
Ecclesiastical building in use as such. One of the earliest buildings in Stornoway.
