Summary Record (May 2010)

Bruan Church was built as a United Free Church in 1910 to the designs of Sinclair Macdonald of Thurso. The L-plan building contains a rectangular church with a timber panelled ceiling and a small vestry to the rear. Sliding doors opening into a side hall were provided to enable extra seating for large services if required.

The building is constructed of harled rubble with sandstone dressings under a slate roof. The site is bounded by a dry stone wall with decorative cast iron railings and gate to the front onto the road.

RCAHMS holds the original drawings for the church in the Sinclair McDonald and Son Collection.
