Description
Kirkliston Parish Church, built in 1843 with additions by Hippolyte J Blanc in 1880 and modern alterations by William A Cadell in 1988, is a Gothic T-plan church featuring a gabled design. It has a square entrance tower with a broach spire located in the southwest re-entrant angle. The exterior is constructed of coursed stugged sandstone with polished dressings, and includes a base course, hoodmoulds over gable lancets, and diagonal buttresses.
The southeast elevation features a three-stage entrance tower from 1880 on the left, accessed by stone steps leading to a deeply chamfered pointed arch door. Above the door are two small lancets, and on the west side of the tower, there is a paired lancet entrance porch with a single blind lancet above it. A cornice separates the third belfry stage, which has two louvred lancets on each side, divided by gablet-capped pilasters at the corners. The tower is adorned with a billeted corbel table, a gabled pointed arch, and lucarnes leading to the stone broached spire, which has finialled half pyramids at its base. The south gable is highlighted by two tall lancet windows and features a clock in the gablehead, with the porch entrance located in the re-entrant southeast angle.
The east elevation consists of paired lancets, while the west elevation has paired lancets in the gable alongside the entrance tower to the south. The north elevation includes modern additions at the rear. The lancets have horizontal glazing, and the church is topped with a slate roof, featuring saw-tooth coping at the skews and cross finials.
Inside, the church has been modernized into a church hall, reconstructed in 1988. Surrounding the property is a boundary wall made of squared rubble with slab ashlar coping, which is higher to the west and features semi-circular coping.
