Description
Tain Parish Church, built between 1811 and 1815 by James Smith, is a late Georgian Gothick structure made of coursed, dressed rubble with tooled ashlar dressings. The building is symmetrical and square, featuring dummy single bay crenellated angle turrets. On the south elevation, there are two large Gothic traceried windows, Y-traceried gallery windows, and simple multi-pane glazing in the four-centred arched ground floor windows. The turrets and ground floor also have blind windows, with hood moulding on the south side. The church has a piended slate roof.
There are modern harled additions and a modern Fife stone porch facing Shandwick Street. Surrounding the church is a low coped rubble wall with cast-iron spearhead railings, along with quadrant walls and gates leading to Stafford Street.
