Description

Ulva Church, built in 1827 by Thomas Telford, is designed in a Gothick style with a T-plan layout. The exterior is harled with a skew-gabled slate roof and features a distinctive 'bird-cage' belfry. The windows are pointed and have mullions and transoms with lattice work. Inside, the church has been reconfigured to create a hall and a smaller church space.
