A continuous programme devoted to the survey of buildings and structures threatened with destruction or significant alteration. A principal component is that relating to listed buildings, the associated work being the only statutory role of RCAHMS. A significant component of the programme focuses on non-statutory historic buildings, many of which are historically significant but have no legal protection, and are therefore much more vulnerable to change. The survey output ranges from detailed measured and photographic surveys to a rapid relatively superficial photographic survey. The programme is responsive to threats and events that occur on a day to day basis. In order to keep abreast of developments throughout Scotland, TBS staff liaise with local authorities, planners and other professionals (e.g. Conservation Officers), as well as owners, tenants, developers, architects, and other Scottish Heritage bodies (including Historic Scotland and the Scottish Civic Trust).

The building, of a late Scots Gothic style, consists of a rectangular church with a hall in the wing, separated by sliding doors that can be opened to accommodate a larger congregation whenever required. The plan of the church is very similar to Bruan Church by the same practice. It is built of dressed rubble with sandstone dressings under a slate roof. The interior was seen to have retained most of its original fittings and fine timber roof. [...]	December 2007

It was built by the 7th Earl and Countess of Aberdeen in 1891 to accommodate large gatherings and theatrical events. The 7th Earl was Governor General of Canada from 1893-98, and it has been suggested that choice of timber as a building material, and the dramatically sweeping roof, may have been inspired from his time in Canada.
