Publication Account (1996)
This plain oblong kirk is typical of the country areas of Grampian. Harled and cream-washed, it has six square-headed windows on the south elevation and a little bellcote at the west gable. Within it is almost severe, with the trad itional post-Reformation arrangement of the pulpit in the centre of the south wall and the communion table in front. Three small lofts have been squeezed in.
In the kirkyard, against the south wall, is a six sided watch-house, topped with a ball-finial.
