Description
The Church of Scotland in Port William was built in 1862, with a vestry and session-house added by Richard Park in 1892. It features a rectangular plan and is constructed of rubble with dressed granite quoins and rybated margins. The church has projecting granite cills and tall pointed-arched windows, which originally had Y-traceried small-pane clear glazing, although they were boarded up in 1993. The roof is covered with small grey slates, slightly graded towards the vestry, and has red sandstone ridging.
On the north elevation facing Church Street, the church has a three-bay design. The central pointed-arched doorway features a two-leaf panelled door and a Y-traceried fanlight, with pointed-arched windows in the outer bays. The gablehead has pointed-arched openings that are partly boarded and louvred at the apex, topped by an iron birdcage bellcote that holds a small bell and has pointed-arched openings beneath a pyramidal roof.
The east and west elevations also have a three-bay layout with regular fenestration. The south elevation includes a gabled vestry that nearly spans the full width of the elevation, with a door to the left and a window to the right on the west side, and a window at the center on the east side. There are two small lean-to additions on the left and center of the south side, along with a granite-dressed gablehead stack that has a red sandstone cope.
The interior was not seen in 1993. The boundary walls are made of rubble and are coped with rubble as well. There is a two-leaf cast-iron fleur-de-lis gate to the north.
