St Mary's Roman Catholic Church And Manse, Academy Street, Nairn

St Mary's Roman Catholic Church and Manse, located on Academy Street in Nairn, was originally built in 1864, with an extension added in 1901 by John Robertson. The church has a small and simple rectangular plan that includes an apse and a porch on the south-west side. Adjoining the church to the north-west is a two-storey, two-bay manse. The building is constructed of coursed rubble with stugged ashlar dressings.

The church features a triple lancet window on the gable facing Academy Street and a crowstepped porch at the south-west entrance. It also has crowstepped gables topped with an apex cross and a slate roof.

Inside, the church has a simple design with braced rafters supporting a painted timber ceiling in the apse. The walls are made of painted snecked rubble. There are pale marble steps leading to the apse, accented with green marble risers, and a green and cream marble altar. In 1952, Reginald Fairlie designed an oak reredos and altar canopy featuring gilded Gothic detailing.

The manse is simply detailed, with a door and window on the ground floor and two windows on the first floor, all topped with wall-head crowstepped gables and a slate roof.
