Description

Currie Kirk, located on Kirkgate in Currie, was designed by James Thomson of Leith and constructed between 1784 and 1785. This building features a classical style combined with gothic windows and is made of coursed rubble. The north side has five bays, with a three-bay projection that includes a gallery stair, topped by a square clock stage and an octagonal belfry stage with a stone spire. The Y-traceried windows have small-paned glazing, and the south elevation has four windows, with those beside the pulpit enlarged by D Cousin in 1848. The roof is piended.

Inside, the church was redesigned by David Bryce in 1835, featuring a horseshoe gallery with the pulpit located on the south side. There is a coach niche set in Corinthian columns and a coved ceiling. The building was constructed on the site of a medieval church, and the chancel was restored as a session house in 1953.
