Description

Kilmartin Parish Church was built in 1835 by James G. Davis and features a Gothic Revival style with a nave and aisles. The church has a square tower at the west end, constructed from coursed rubble. It includes lancet and decorated windows, along with a crenellated tower and aisles. The gable and aisle-ends are made of moulded crow-stepped ashlar with rubble infill, and the roof is slate.

The interior was recast in 1900 and includes slender piers, a gallery, and mural tablets.
