Balmaghie Parish Church And Churchyard

Balmaghie Parish Church, dated 1794, features a porch and vestry added between 1891 and 1894, with internal alterations carried out by Peddie and Kinnear. In 1893, the tower's level was lowered and re-roofed under the direction of architect James Barbour. The church has a T-plan layout with an octagonal tower at the center of the southern side. It is constructed of painted rubble with polished red sandstone margins around all openings, likely from the late 19th century. The pointed arch windows include some with Y-tracery.

A lean-to porch on the southwest provides access to the church. The southern elevation consists of five bays, featuring Y-tracery in the outer bays, lancet windows in the inner bays, and a central octagonal tower with a pointed arch door topped by an elliptical datestone inscribed with the year 1794, which was restored in 1894 and 1913. There is a band-course above the ground stage and a pointed-arch louvred vent above the door. The octagonal slate roof is topped with a tall weathervane.

Inside, the church has been remodeled in the 20th century, featuring panel-fronted galleries on the east and west jambs. The central pulpit is accompanied by a carved reredos and two stained glass lancets. The ceiling is modern, lined with timber and coved.

The churchyard is surrounded by a rubble wall and contains mainly late 18th and 19th century gravestones.
