Description
Clarkston Church in Airdrie is a plain Gothic church built in 1837 with a rectangular plan and three bays. It features a gabled roof with a bellcote on the southeast side. The facade is made of squared yellow sandstone courses, while the sides and rear are constructed from random rubble.
The southeast elevation, which is the principal front, has a base course, projecting cills, chamfered margins, and stopped hoodmoulds over pointed arch openings. Stone steps lead to the central doorway, which has a timber panelled door on the left and a pointed-arch fanlight above. Above the door is a bipartite window with tracery, flanked by single windows. The gable apex features a bellcote supported by a carved scrollwork corbel, with a small urn at the ridge.
The northwest elevation at the rear has two tall pointed arch windows at the gable head and an external link corridor connecting to a modern church hall in the center.
The northeast and southwest side elevations each have three bays with regular fenestration, featuring rectangular architraved windows with projecting margins. The windows are square-pane leaded, and the roof is covered with grey slates and lead flashing.
The interior was not seen in 2001.
