Large pleasing kirk in rough local red granite ashlar, with cherry cocking. Interior lit by four strong pointed windows with original wood-traceried Gothic glazing. Slightly undersized bellcote on west gable. Originally rectangular, A M Mackenzie added a north chancel with good furnishings, 1923; further additions, 1968, Albert McCombie. These, and the war memorial stained-glass windows and an extraordinary mosaic memorial, make the interior more than usually interesting.
