Amulree Church Of Scotland And Churchyard

Amulree Church of Scotland, possibly designed by John Douglas of Edinburgh, was begun in 1743 but construction was interrupted by the Jacobite uprising of 1745 and completed in 1752. The church underwent alterations and additions in 1881 and 1958. It has a simple rectangular plan and features a porch and stair tower added around 1881, along with a window in the east gable. The exterior is harled with ashlar margins and covered with grey slates, with the skews removed.

The south flank wall contains six round-headed windows with distinctive glazing from around 1881, where the panes are mostly horizontal but each window includes a single decorative diamond pane. The north flank wall is blind but has an 18th-century stair turret or loft at the east end. A large Y-traceried window in the east gable is also likely from 1881. Additionally, there is a large circular window in the east gable and a belfry that houses a bell dated 1519, along with a lean-to porch from the 19th century.

Inside, the church was remodeled in 1881 and features a gallery, grained woodwork, and a timber beamed roof. The east end contains a 20th-century communion table, pulpit, and screen with Gothic relief carving, along with a large window from around 1881 depicting Faith, Hope, and Charity. In 1958, the interior was subdivided to create a Meeting Room and Sunday School beneath the gallery, which was retained but enclosed and is now used as storage space as of 1991.

The churchyard is enclosed by rubble walls and features a pair of rubble drum gatepiers with ball finials and wrought-iron gates. It contains some 18th-century tabletop gravestones and several stones with Gothick detailing.
