Description

Queen Street Church, located on Camphill Road in Broughty Ferry, Dundee, was designed by James MacLaren and George Shaw Aitken in 1876. This Gothic style church features a semi-hexagonal apse at the east, stepped gables on the north and south sides, and a tower with a spire at the southwest corner. The exterior is constructed of rubble masonry with polished dressings and buff long and short quoins, topped with a grey slate roof. Decorative elements include cill and band courses, rose-pattern windows, single and stepped lancets, some adorned with simple geometric tracery, as well as buttresses, skew gables, and decorative ridge tiles.

On the southeast elevation, the three-stage tower with spire is positioned to the left. It has a moulded Gothic-arch entrance with a narrow light above, angle buttresses, an oculus, and elongated buttress caps at the second stage. The third stage features moulded Gothic-arched louvred belfry openings, short set-back buttresses, diagonal water spouts, and a parapet with blind triangular tracery. The octagonal spire is topped with clasping pinnacles. To the right, there are three stepped gables, with the center showcasing paired lights and a rose window, although the finials are damaged. The left gable head has two paired lights at ground floor and a three-light window at gallery level, while the right gable has a single two-light window, both topped with cross finials.

The northeast elevation mirrors the southeast but lacks the tower. The east elevation features stepped lancets at the northeast and southeast of the apse. The west elevation includes three single lights at ground floor, a rose window at gallery level, and an apex chimney, along with a semi-hexagonal stair tower at the right that abuts the main tower.

Surrounding the church is a low coped wall on the west side, complemented by decorative iron railings. The interior has been reconstructed, but some stained glass windows have been retained.
