Description

Rosemarkie Parish Church, built between 1818 and 1822, is a Gothic-style rectangular church featuring a tower at the west gable. The tower and the south and west elevations are constructed of rough ashlar, while the north and east elevations are made of sneck-harled rubble, with polished ashlar dressings and a slated roof. The body of the church consists of four bays, with four tall windows on the south side and two similar windows on the north side. These windows have timber mullions and tracery, and all are adorned with hoodmoulds. At the center of the south front, there is a crenellated vestry that now serves as a porch. The church has a moulded eaves cornice and square-plan skewputts topped with ornate stiff leaf finials.

The tower is divided into three stages by string courses and features Gothic openings with hoodmoulds. The second stage has label stops carved with heads, depicting bonnetted women on the south side and capped men on the west side. The tower is capped with a corbelled, crenellated parapet that has crocketted pinnacles at the corners.

The interior was altered and re-oriented towards the east by John Robertson in 1894. It includes a Gothick horse-shoe gallery supported by clustered columns, an original pulpit with a sounding board shaped like a crown, and furnishings made of pine. There are also two memorial tablets by James Dalziel from Edinburgh, commemorating members of the Fowler family of Raddery and Grange, dating from the early 19th century.
