Duror [Church] (1827) was built by Gibb & Minto for £1470.[It is] T-shaped in plan, 52 ft by 32 ft overall, with six wide Gothic windows, and a small spiky belfry on one gable. The windows, of metal framing, were all bought pre-made from James Abernethy, Aberdeen.
These Highland churches, so nearly identical, were the forerunners of the ‘kit’ buildings of today.
