Scope and Content St Patrick's Church, Kirkpatrick-Juxta, Dumfries & Galloway, from south-south-east This view from the south-south-east, taken in 1979, shows the building in its graveyard. The 1875-7 alterations seem to have included raising the height of the walls, a new belfry, and new sandstone dressings round the openings. The thin red sandstone tombstones are typical of Dumfries-shire. Beattock developed as a railway village after 1848 when the Caledonian Railway opened its routes from Carlisle to Glasgow and Edinburgh. North of the village is a steep incline, and trains were assisted up this incline by locomotives housed in a shed in the village. This practice ended in the 1960s. This church was originally constructed in 1798-1800 to designs by John McCracken, a Dumfries mason, but was remodelled by James Barbour, a Dumfries architect in 1875-7. The building is constructed of whinstone rubble with red sandstone dressings. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
