Description

Dated 1844, the Free Church of Scotland Church is a simple T-plan building on Church Street in Golspie. The church is constructed of red rubble with tooled rubble dressings. The south elevation is symmetrical, with six bays. There are entrances in the outer bays, and four windows, the central pair being longer. Similar long windows are found in each gable, most of the original lattice pane glazing surviving. The church has modern doors, shaped finials, and a slate roof.

The interior has been re-cast.

Adjacent to the church is a single-storey, four-bay former school building, also constructed of rubble. It has an entrance in the outer (east) bay, three windows with lattice glazing, an apex stack, and a slate roof. A coped drystone wall is present.

The church is currently in ecclesiastical use. A schoolroom adjoins a single-storey, three-bay dwelling, probably the school-master's house, which has been significantly altered and is not listed. Ewing's Annals of the Free Church (1914) provides further details.
