Old Parish Church, Kirk Wynd, Blairgowrie

The Old Parish Church in Kirk Wynd, Blairgowrie, was likely designed by William Stirling and built in 1824, with subsequent end porches and renovations in 1884. It is a piend-roofed, rectangular building with a prominent, slim, four-stage, pagoda-roofed tower. The church is constructed from ashlar stone, featuring base and eaves courses, raked courses, and a deep, mutuled eaves cornice to the tower. Pointed-arch openings are characteristic, with corbels, voussoirs, stone transoms and mullions, and chamfered arrises to the porches.

The south elevation is symmetrical, with the tower projecting from the central bay and full-height windows in the flanking bays. The window to the left of the tower's centre is margined and partially blocked, while the outer-left window has Y-tracery and four lights, both formerly open but now blocked.

The tower’s first stage has a blocked doorway below a blinded, tall, traceried fanlight to the west and blocked windows to the south and east. This gives way to a corbelled course leading to the second stage, which displays fielded panels inscribed with "This Church was built 1824 / The Rd James Johnstone Minister / William Macpherson Esq laid the Foundation Stone," along with a four-light, Y-traceried mullioned window to the south, a blinded window to the west, and a blocked window to the east. The third stage is reduced, with canted angles and louvered openings on each elevation, culminating in a set-back arcaded belfry at the fourth stage, topped with a weathervane-finialled, slated roof with wide eaves.

The east elevation features a low, crenellated porch with a boarded timber door and a blocked fanlight on its return to the right, concealing a blocked window above. Windows are present in the flanking bays; the one to the right is blinded, and the one to the left is blocked. The west elevation is similar but all windows are blocked.

The north elevation showcases a small lean-to brick extension in the centre, with blocked windows in the flanking bays.

Some diamond-pattern leaded glazing has been retained, and a window on the south side features coloured glass panels. The roof is covered in grey slates, with two rectangular ridge ventilators; one retains a pyramidal cap.

Inside, the church has galleries along the north, east, and west sides, with clustered cast-iron columns, panelled blind-arcaded gallery fronts, and some panelled dadoes. Moulded plasterwork cornices, roof ventilators, and a decorative ceiling rose are also present, alongside stone staircases.

The church is enclosed by semicircular-coped rubble boundary walls. Square-section ashlar gatepiers with flat coping are situated to the south, while gablet-coped gatepiers are found to the west. Both sets of gatepiers support two-leaf decorative ironwork gates.
