Gate Piers, St Clement's Church, Church Street, Dingwall

The gate piers of St Clement's Church in Dingwall were designed by George Burn between 1799 and 1803. The church features a rectangular structure with an octagonal tower and spire, constructed from pinned coursed rubble with tooled ashlar dressings.

On the north elevation, the church is two stories high and has three bays. The wide central bay projects and is topped with a pediment, featuring a pointed-headed entrance flanked by similarly detailed sidelights, all connected by a continuous hoodmould. Above, there are two pointed-headed windows that flank a round-arched opening with two pointed-headed lights and a quatrefoil in the spandrel. The outer bays contain glazed windows, with the ground floor windows having pointed heads and the gallery windows later modified to round heads. The heads of the windows display intersecting Gothic tracery. Above the pediment, an octagonal belfry sits on a square base, featuring round-arched keystoned panels that alternate between being blind and louvred, linked by a cill band and a string course at the springing level. The octagon is topped with a tall, broached, slender octagonal ashlar spire, which has blind oval oculi and is finished with a weather vane.

The south elevation showcases four long pointed-headed windows with late 19th-century tracery and glazing, all linked by a continuous hoodmould. In the center, there is a square projecting harled Minister's porch, which features a moulded string course and round-headed windows. The side elevations include three gallery windows and two ground floor windows, some of which are blind, all having square heads with later 19th-century tracery and glazing. The roof is piended and covered with slate.

Inside, there is a five-sided panelled gallery and a large rectangular pulpit from the late 19th century, which includes a finialled and pendanted sounding board.

The gate piers and burial ground walls were designed by W C Joass between 1875 and 1876. The square ashlar gate piers feature corniced copes and stepped caps topped with ball finials. They are linked by a wrought-iron overthrow and lamp bracket, with a pair of simple cast-iron gates that have spearhead detailing. The burial ground walls are made of rubble with dressed coping. The site contains various tombstones from the 17th, 18th, and 19th centuries, some of which are in burial enclosures that reuse walling from a previous church.
