Parish Kirk, 17th century. Reposing in its own kirkton, this harled rectangle has an urn-crowned bellcote on the east gable and a panel inscribed M.A.K. [Minister Andrew Kerr] 1629 high on the west gable. Simple square-headed windows with clear lights suggest another plain Scots kirk, but the orthodox interior (pulpit with sounding board on south wall, box pews) is enlivened by an eastern gallery with square marbled centre column and the arms of the Duff family.
Pleasing clutter of stones from 1686 in the kirkyard, adjacent to the solid manse of c.1785 and later.
