Description

Blairdaff Church was opened on June 9, 1839. It features a Gothick design inspired by the parish church, with the central parts of the gables advanced and pinnacles at the bellcote. The building is constructed from pinned red granite and retains its original glazing. The northeast wall has a session house that was previously covered by a piend roof, which was noted in 2021. Inside, there is a U-plan gallery and the original pulpit, complete with a sounding board.
