Description

The Parish Church in Tighnabruaich, designed by Boucher and Cousland in 1863, is a rectangular-plan gabled church featuring Romanesque detailing. It is constructed of cream sandstone rubble with ashlar dressings and has a base course.

On the south elevation, the gable features a bellcote and a central round-arched doorway with a roll-moulded surround. The doorway has deeply splayed reveals, chamfered arrises with colonnettes, and is fitted with two-leaf boarded doors that have decorative cast-iron hinges. There are narrow round-arched windows on either side of the doorway, with a hoodmould course above them. Above the doorway, there are two round-arched lights with chamfered arrises and colonnettes, as well as a cill course with label stops.

The east side elevation includes four round-arched windows with diamond-pane leaded glazing. The roof is covered with grey slate and features ashlar coped skew with label stops beneath the bellcote.

Inside, the church has wainscot and retains its original pews. There are several memorial plaques and stained glass memorial windows dating from the late 19th century, dedicated to Rev Alexander Stark on the east wall, Rev Joseph Stark on the west wall, and John MacMillan on the east wall.
