Forest Of Birse Church

Forest of Birse Church is a single-storey, three-bay, rectangular-plan plain gothic church built in 1891. It is constructed from coursed granite rubble with tooled dressings and features pointed-arched openings.

The entrance elevation is asymmetrical, with a gabled porch that projects to the right. It has a two-leaf boarded timber door with decorative hinges, accessed by three stone steps, and an iron finial at the apex. There is a window in the centre bay and another in the bay to the left.

The northeast elevation has a gabled design with a tall central window flanked by two slightly smaller windows, and a finial at the apex. The northwest elevation is blank, while the southwest elevation features a simple rose window in the centre.

The church has predominantly rectangular-pane leaded and stained glass windows. The roof is made of grey slate with a tiled ridge, and there are stone skews with blocked skewputts. The southwest gable has a coped gablehead stack with an octagonal can, and cast-iron rainwater goods.

Inside, there is a small porch leading to a rectangular-plan nave. The interior features boarded timber below the dado, a boarded timber roof with timber trusses and moulded timber drip stones, and boarded timber pews with decorative ends.
