St Andrew's Parish Church, Churchgate, Moffat

St Andrew's Parish Church, located on Churchgate in Moffat, was designed by John Starforth of Edinburgh and built between 1885 and 1887. It is an example of first pointed Gothic architecture. The church is constructed from squared rubble-faced red sandstone sourced from Corncockle.

The structure includes a nave, two transepts, and a tall, three-stage east tower flanked by circular buttressed stair turrets. The tower features two doors with a trumeau and tympanum beneath a gabled porch on the east face. Stepped angle buttresses rise at the southeast corner to a pinnacled cap-house. The first stage of the tower has two bands of blind arcading, paired shafted lights under pointed heads in the second stage, and three louvred lights in the third stage, topped with a corbelled, pierced, and castellated parapet. The body of the church consists of five bays with octagonal angle piers that rise to finials, paired windows at the ground level, and triple windows leading to the gallery. There are additional originally detailed doors at the southeast and northeast corners, and the transepts feature three lights at both the ground and gallery levels, with a central light rising into the gable.

A projecting session house is located at the west end of the church.

Inside, there are shallow galleries on three sides supported by shafted cast-iron columns positioned close to the wall, with decorated cantilevered brackets. The stained glass windows were made by Meikke & Son in 1896 and again in the 1920s, featuring a rose window depicting Faith, Hope, and Charity designed by Starforth, with additional work by Messrs Ballantyne and Gardner from 1902 to 1905. A window from 1961 was created by Abbey Studio. The organ was built by Eustace Ingram in 1893.
