Urquhart Parish Church

Urquhart Parish Church, designed by Alexander Reid in Elgin after William Robertson, was built between 1842 and 1843 and converted into a dwelling in the 1990s. This Gothic church features a six-bay buttressed long east and west elevations, with a harled exterior and extensive use of tooled ashlar. The south entrance front has a gabled design with an engaged three-stage square tower, which includes angle buttresses, a crenellated wallhead, and angle pinnacles that were reduced in height in 1953.

At the base of the tower, there is a hoodmoulded round-headed entrance with cusped panelled double leaf doors. Above this entrance, a tall window is set under a perpendicular decorated hoodmould, while round-arched louvred belfry openings are located in the upper stage of the tower. The south gable features long pointed-headed traceried windows flanking the tower, and similar windows are found in the east and west buttressed elevations, with each end bay being blind. The church has lattice-pane glazing, stepped angle buttresses at each corner that terminate with pinnacles, a wallhead parapet, an apex cross at the north gable, and a slate roof.

In 1931, a small lanceted chancel and a lean-to vestry were added to the north gable, along with a reconstruction of the interior by J Alistair Ross.
