Description
Kinloch Church is a church built around the same time as Bruan Church in Caithness, which was constructed in 1910. It features a Gothic design with a wide, traceried, two-centred-arched window at the east main entrance gable, topped by an apex belfry. The south side, facing the main road, includes a transept on the left and three square-headed windows on the body of the church, which have cusp-headed three-light tracery. The building is made of dry-dashed masonry with painted margins, timber tracery, leaded glass, and has slate roofs. It also includes a simplified ridge ventilator.
