Description
Blaich Church of Scotland is a single-storey, three-bay cottage that was converted into a church in 1817. The building is constructed of harled rubble with boulder footings. It features a central pointed-headed door flanked by pointed-headed windows, which were likely altered when the building was converted to a church. The rear elevation has three symmetrical windows, with the outer windows modified for church use. The windows have four-pane glazing, and there are end stacks on the roof, which is covered with slate.
Inside, the church has a simple interior, with two-thirds of the space used as the church and a small room located in the eastern portion of the building.
