Description
Dr A. R. Urquhart, 1903-4. 4-bay, buttressed, crow-stepped, Gothic chapel with central entrance tower with timber and lead octagonal cupola with tall weather vane and with canted apse to north west. The high base course and tower are cyclopean (polygonal) whinstone and the nave is rock-faced red sandstone. The entrance elevation to the north east has a round-arched central entrance opening with pair of decorative iron gates, and a timber inner door with decorative hinges. There are flanking smaller round-arched window openings. There are crocketted and pinnacled buttresses. Some tracery windows.
There are green slates to the roof and the windows are predominantly lead-pane fixed glass.
The interior was seen in 2014. The original decorative scheme is largely intact with timber panelling and painted walls to nave, and with bare stone walls to sanctuary. There is a slatted timber, barrel vaulted ceiling and decorative timber pulpit, communion table and lectern. There are some stained glass windows to the sanctuary.
