Account books for building church.
The first church was built and designed on this site by W D Campbell between 1881 and 1886 and now occupies what is now the nave. The church was completed under the supervision of Campbell's sister who died in 1927, the church being dedicated in 1930.
The church incorporates many different styles both in the interior and in the decoration of the exterior. Fragments of Iona Abbey are incorporated into the N wall of the S aisle, and a window from St Mary's Parish Church, South Leith is built into the S wall of the Bruce Chapel. An unusual object is also preserved in the Bruce Chapel: a bell founded in 1843 for Skerryvore Lighthouse (NL82NW 1).
Information from RCAHMS, December 1996.
The church was photographed on behalf of the RCAHMS Listed Buildings Survey in 2007.
