Description

St Columba's Episcopal Church, located on Queen Street in Nairn, was designed by Alexander Ross in 1857 and later enlarged by John Robertson in 1898. The church is built in the Early English Gothic style and features a five-bay nave with a lower two-bay chancel and a gabled porch at the northwest. The structure is constructed of rubble with ashlar dressings and has simple lancet windows on the side elevations. The west gable includes two geometric traceried windows and one rose window, while the east gable features a triple lancet. Each gable apex of the nave is topped with a stone cross. The roof is covered with slate.

Inside, the church has a simple design with a braced rafter roof made of red Memel pine, supported by simple stone corbels. There is a traceried timber choir screen and a stone reredos and altar, both decorated with blind Gothic arches, with the reredos bordered by dog-tooth ornament. A simple hexagonal font is also present. The church contains near contemporary stained glass windows.
