West Parish Church Of Scotland, Wellwynd, Airdrie

The West Parish Church of Scotland in Wellwynd, Airdrie, was designed by Alex Baird in 1834, with a porch added by A MacGregor Mitchell in 1890. This is a two-storey, five-bay, rectangular-plan church built in a classical style, featuring a central bell tower and cupola. The exterior is made of squared and tooled yellow sandstone, with a regular arrangement of windows and a base course with architraved openings.

On the east (principal) elevation, there are five bays with full-height Tuscan pilasters flanking the outer bays. The center features a small gabled entrance porch and a moulded pedimented gable with an inscribed panel that reads: "ERECTED BY FRIENDS OF THE CHURCH OF SCOTLAND 1834." At the top, there is a three-stage bell tower, with a square first stage, a battered octagonal second stage with louvered openings, and a canted third stage that culminates in a cupola topped with a cast-iron weathervane.

The west (rear) elevation was not visible in 2001. The north and south side elevations each have five bays with regular fenestration, and the windows have been replaced with plate glass. The roof is covered with grey slates and features lead flashing.

Inside, the church has a plain galleried interior, with woodwork that was replaced with a gothic scheme by A MacGregor Mitchell in 1890.
