This unassuming white-harled rural building, which may be mistaken tor a line of cottages, is the oldest building erected after the Reformation for Roman Catholic worship in Scotland. Built just nine years after Culloden, at a time when Catholics were regarded with suspicion ifnot direct hostility, this low building, in the Gordon lands of Enzie, was originally even more inconspicuous, having a thatched roof and no glazed windows. The ball finial on the west gable was added in 1779 by the priest George Matheson,who also glazed the windows and slated the roof. The interior is simple but pleasing.
