Description
Pirnmill Church of Scotland is a small, single-storey church built around 1920, featuring a rectangular plan and a pitched roof. It is set back from the main road in Pirnmill, located in a field. The church has half-timbered gables and three bays on the west elevation, with a gabled vestry that projects to the right, which includes a timber boarded door in the re-entrant angle. There is a gabled vestibule on the north side with a two-leaf boarded door facing west. The exterior is finished in grey painted corrugated iron, with green painted timber on the gables, white painted windows, and a green painted concrete basecourse.
The windows are timber top-hopper style, with two-pane lower sections and six-pane upper sections. The roof is covered with asbestos tiles, and there are cast-iron rainwater goods.
Inside, the church features a good original plain design. The interior is lined with boarded yellow pine and has a kingpost roof structure. There is a timber panelled door leading from the vestibule to the central aisle, with timber bench pews on either side that have upholstered cushions. The pulpit, which has been slightly altered, is situated on a raised platform, and there is a timber panelled part-glazed door leading to the vestry.
