Church Hall, Wardie Parish Church, Primrose Bank Road, Edinburgh

The church hall and church, located on Primrose Bank Road in Edinburgh, were designed by John McLachlan. The church was built in 1892, with the church hall added at right angles in 1886. Later alterations and additions occurred throughout the 20th century.

The church is a gothic building with a rectangular plan and canted projecting side bays. A slate roof tops the building, featuring a louvred lantern with a ball finial at the ridge's center. Octagonal towers with finialled pinnacles flank the entrance. The exterior is constructed from squared and snecked grey sandstone with ashlar dressings. A projecting stone coped base course runs along the base, and pointed-arched windows are framed by hoodmoulds. Plate tracery is used in the windows.

The church hall is built of grey and pink squared and snecked stugged sandstone with dressed sandstone quions and buttressed corners. The west elevation of the hall features a round-arched window with plate tracery and a hoodmould above the entrance, alongside a small tripartite window in the gable. The original lancet windows have been obscured by a later entrance extension.

The north (Primrose Bank) elevation of the church is symmetrically arranged, with the entrance situated between pinnacles in a single-story lean-to that extends as a flat-roofed narthex to either side. A finialled gabled doorpiece is flanked by narrow trefoil windows and polygonal miniature pinnacles. A two-leaf boarded timber door, fitted with cast-iron hinges, is flanked by paired foliate colonnettes with annulets. A roundel in the tympanum features a carved dove with an olive branch and the inscription "Wardie United Presbyterian Church 1893." A decorative arcaded eaves course runs along the top of the building. A coped parapet defines the narthex, with each bay containing three lancets. The gable features a three-light pointed-arched window with a decorative hoodmould framed by colonnettes with annulets, including Y-tracery in the central light. A mandorla window is located in the gablehead. Stone coping of the gable terminates in cross-finialled gablets to the right and left, and a stone cross on a pedestal sits at the apex.

The east and west elevations feature projecting, lower six-sided bays containing staircases to the north; these were added in 1901 and reconstructed in 1949 and are lit by lancet windows with stained glass, linked to the entrance vestibule. The elevations have gabletted buttresses at the angles, deeply embrasured windows, a parapet, and a piended roof. Subsequent bays are separated by gabletted buttresses, each with a window in a pointed-arched opening featuring plate tracery, a hoodmould, and foliate label stops. A circular window is set in the gable of the south elevation.

The interior of the church hall is an aisle-less, clear-span tunnel-roofed space. Galleries were added in 1901, obscuring windows, and the south end was reconstructed in 1935. A new gothic oak organ case with a carved screen is set back into a recess in the south wall, alongside a new pulpit, communion table, chairs, lectern, and font, all by Scott Morton & Co. A stained-glass roundel was installed above the organ in 1951. Pews were stripped and galleries painted in 1960.

The church and hall are roofed with grey slate, featuring a decorative terracotta ridge. Cast-iron downpipes with decorative hoppers are also present.
