Description
21 North Street in Aberchirder is a former Presbyterian church, built around 1890 by Duncan MacMillan. This single-storey building is designed in an L-plan and constructed from squared and coursed stugged granite, featuring ashlar dressings, a base course, and an eaves course. It has round-arched windows and an advanced gabled porch on the south side. The east side has a round-arched doorway with a keystone in the re-entrant angle, which includes a deep-set two-leaf panelled door and a window to the south. There is a large elliptical-arched window on the east gable, complete with a hoodmould and keystone, and above it sits an ashlar birdcage bellcote topped with a ball finial. The windows have square-pane leaded glazing, some of which includes coloured glass. The roof is covered with grey slates, featuring ashlar coped skews with bracket-skewputts and finials on the gables. A corniced ashlar stack is located at the porch, and clay ridge tiles complete the roof.
