Kildrum Parish Church, Clouden Road, Cumbernauld

Kildrum Parish Church, located on Clouden Road in Cumbernauld, was designed by architects Alan Reiach and Stuart Renton and constructed between 1960 and 1962. This single-storey church features a square plan and has an adjoining hall to the northeast, which is linked to a manse. The building is constructed with a steel frame and faced with brick, incorporating some timber cladding. A continuous horizontal band of clerestory windows runs below the eaves of the church, and there is a horizontally-boarded profiled metal fascia that extends across the church, hall, and manse. Access to the church is via steps leading up to a paved entrance level that opens into a courtyard. The church is topped by a prominent concrete bell tower.

The bell tower is open-framed and consists of four stages, with vertical timber slatting on the upper stage. The northeast elevation of the church is mostly blank, featuring a deep band of clerestory windows. There is a projecting entrance block on the outer left, which is part-glazed, and a projecting block on the outer right that connects to the hall. This right block includes a covered walkway to the right of center and predominantly tripartite glazing. The southeast elevation is also largely blank, with clerestory lights that drop to the lintel height of a door located on the outer left at ground level. A coped, whitewashed brick wall projects from the outer left, displaying a large wood and metal cross on its southeast face. The building primarily features metal-framed windows and has flat roofs.

Inside, the church is illuminated by the continuous clerestory, giving the impression of a 'floating' roof. The interior includes a pulpit and reading desk made from Norwegian quartz aggregate, a teak communion table and font, and pews and ceiling crafted from Baltic redwood. The original timber organ console, along with its pipes and frame, remains in place.

The hall, which is a single-storey structure, runs parallel to and is linked with the church. Its southwest entrance block is advanced and features vertically-boarded timber cladding, with a central door and symmetrical small light windows. The southeast elevation is predominantly blank, while the northeast return of the entrance block has part-glazing and a door to the left of center at ground level, along with a coped chimney at the re-entrant angle. The northeast elevation is mostly blank but includes a deep band of clerestory windows, with the manse adjoining on the outer right. The northwest elevation has not been seen since 2000.

The manse is a single-storey structure with a predominantly L-shaped plan, adjoining the hall.
