Carnbee Parish Church, Carnbee

Carnbee Parish Church, built between 1793 and 1794, is a simple rectangular-plan church with six bays and a low session house to the west. The structure is made of rubble with ashlar margins. It features four tall, round-headed windows with simple Y-tracery and a square-headed door in each outer bay of the long south wall, while the north wall has only a single small opening.

The west gable includes a segmental-arched window beneath a tiny blind oculus and a re-used birdcage bellcote with a tall pyramidal curved roof, which was taken from an earlier church building. There is also a piend-roofed low vestry, built in 1838, which has a door on the west elevation and a window on the south. The roofs are covered with slate.

Inside, the seating plan was altered before 1908, and only the gallery on the east wall remains. The church was re-opened in 1908 after alterations by architect Sir Robert Lorimer. The interior features a simple oak-panelled dado against the west wall with a central pulpit, which is intricately carved with figures and decorated with vine and grape motifs above the carving by the Clow brothers of Edinburgh. An oak font, also designed by Lorimer and carved by William Wheeler Jr. of Arncroach, is present. A stained glass window was inserted in the west wall after 1886. Two sets of heraldic arms hang in the gallery, one belonging to Henry Bethune of Kilconquhar (dated 1787) and the other to the 1st Earl of Kellie.

The churchyard is enclosed by rubble-built walls with square-plan ashlar gatepiers.
