North Parish Church, Cluny Square, Buckie

North Parish Church, located in Cluny Square, Buckie, was designed by architect Duncan MacMillan and built between 1878 and 1879. This substantial Gothic church features a rectangular shape with a south entrance gable and a square four-stage tower at the southwest corner. The building is constructed from tooled rubble with tooled and polished ashlar dressings.

The south gable has a slightly projecting gabled entrance that includes two doors separated by a chamfered trumeau, with a fanlight above featuring V-tracery. The double-leaf plank doors are adorned with ornate cast-iron hinges. Above the entrance, there is a large five-light geometric traceried window, flanked by a stepped buttress on the right that terminates in a wallhead pinnacle. To the right, there is a narrow single pointed-headed plate traceried window.

The four-stage tower is supported by diagonal stepped buttresses. The ground stage has simple lancets, the second stage features triple lancets, the third stage includes large louvred plate traceried windows, and the fourth stage has clock faces with angle pinnacles that support a simplified finialled crown. The west elevation has five bays with narrow lights, and there is a rose window in the north gable. The south gable is topped with a cross, and the church has a slate roof with small triangular louvred vents.

Inside, the church has a lofty interior with a gallery that wraps around three sides. The gallery features a cusped panelled front supported by slender painted cast-iron columns. At the north gable, there is an organ that is fronted by a cusped panelled pulpit, which is accessed by a flight of stairs and is accompanied by seating and a communion table. The interior mainly features lattice-pane glazing and has a braced rafter roof that rises from corbel-heads.
