Kilmany Parish Church

Kilmany Parish Church is a rectangular church built in 1768 and remarkably unaltered since. The exterior is harled with margins, and features a birdcage bellcote on the west gable. The south wall has three round-arched windows, each with a keyblock. The central window is narrower, with a blocked minister’s door beneath it. A low, square-headed window is located on the west side, and an early 19th-century lean-to porch provides access on the east-west side of the building. The north wall has two square-headed windows, likely of the same date, and retains original glazing throughout.

Inside, there are lofts at both the east and west ends. A notable feature is the original oak pulpit, adorned with a Reconstructed Doric entablature and a sounding board supported by pilasters. The church was reseated in 1859 by Jack of Rathillet and repaired with advice from David Rhind between 1860 and 1861; the boarded ceiling probably dates from this period. Some fragments of 17th-century oak panelling are also present.

The church remains in ecclesiastical use. Reverend Thomas Chalmers ministered here from 1803 to 1815. It enjoys a picturesque setting.
