Description
Lochend Church of Scotland, dated 1868, is a rectangular-plan Gothic church featuring a gabled vestry at the western angle. It has a three-stage square entrance tower with a broach spire located in the re-entrant angle. The church is constructed from coursed and squared white granite rubble, accented with contrasting red ashlar dressings. The long walls have cusped-headed lights that are either single or bipartite, and there are hood-moulded gable windows with cusped tracery.
The tower includes angle buttresses at the bottom stage and a pointed door under a gabled head in the re-entrant angle. The top stage is defined by a string course and features blind bipartite windows on each face. There is beak-head moulding at the eaves and below the spire, along with saw-toothed skews topped with apex finials. The roof is covered with graded slates.
Inside, the church has an open timbered roof supported by stone corbels, a plain dado, and a World War II memorial window located in the south-west gable.
