Description

South Parish Church, located on Belmont Street in Aberdeen, was designed by John Smith and built between 1830 and 1831. This Gothic-style church features a distinctive T-plan layout and a prominent three-stage clock tower. The exterior is characterized by clasping buttresses and pointed-arch openings adorned with timber tracery, constructed from grey granite ashlar with moulded dressings.

On the west elevation, the central section is advanced and includes steps leading to a double-leaf timber door with a hoodmould. The clock tower has a diamond-moulded surround for the clock on the north, west, and south elevations, with louvred openings in the belfry topped by ogee-hoodmoulds. The tower is capped with a castellated parapet and octagonal corner pinnacles. The north and south elevations feature advanced pointed-arched doorpieces that rise to clasping buttresses, flanking a central window.

The roof is covered with grey slate, and the building has cast-iron rainwater goods. There is a curving plinth boundary wall with railings to the southwest.

The interior was extensively modernized in 1999 to accommodate a public house, as observed in 2006.
