St Peter and St Boniface RC Church (formerly the Drill Hall and later the Mackerchar Hall), Cathedral Square, Fortrose

St Peter and St Boniface Roman Catholic Church, located in Cathedral Square, Fortrose, was designed by John Robertson in 1881. This building features a two-storey, three-bay entrance block alongside a single-storey, four-bay wing that houses the hall, all constructed in a Romanesque style and approximately rectangular in shape. Originally built as a drill hall, it became the Mackerchar Hall in 1945 and was converted into a church in 2015. The structure is made of pink stugged sandstone with polished ashlar dressings and gables of squared rubble.

The entrance block has a pediment and is flanked by giant pilasters, with a stack at the apex. It includes a central door and flanking windows set within a triple arched arcade, with a Venetian window above. The hall features a corbelled eaves course and tripartite round-headed stilted arched windows. Most windows have 2-pane glazing in timber sash and case frames, with some featuring early 21st century stained glass. The roof is covered with grey slates, and there is a corniced chimney stack topped with unusual square yellow clay cans.

The interior, observed in 2015, showcases a well-preserved late 19th century design, including timber panelled doors with moulded architraves and some timber dado rails. A first-floor room contains a timber chimneypiece with a cast iron inset. The narrow staircase leading to the upper floor has decorative iron balusters and a timber rail. The hammerbeam roof of the hall is lined with timber boarding on the ceiling.
