Gilmour Memorial Church, Purdie Street, Burnbank, Hamilton

Gilmour Memorial Church, built between 1882 and 1884 by Duncan McNaughtan, is a rectangular-plan, aisleless Gothic church featuring a tower. The exterior is constructed from cream bull-faced snecked rubble masonry, with random rubble at the rear gable and ashlar dressings. The roof is covered with green slate and terracotta ridge tiles, while the hall has a piended roof and the porch has a red tile roof. Architectural details include a base course, a cill course at the nave and gallery levels on the main elevations, flat-coped skews, and buttresses on the nave and rear gable. The church has 2-light lancet windows set in pointed arch panels with hoodmoulds.

The west elevation, which serves as the entrance, features a multiple moulded pointed entrance arch with a gable roof, flanked by small pentice-roofed bays. This is set between an advanced tower on the left and a buttress on the right. Above the entrance is a 5-light stepped lancet window in a pointed arch panel, with a vesica in the roofspace and a Celtic cross finial. The tower, which is four stages high and lacks a parapet or spire, has pointed windows with hoodmoulds on the second and fourth stages, and narrow trefoil-headed openings on the third stage. The right buttress terminates in a large pinnacled octagonal finial.

On the south elevation, there is an advanced stair gable to the left with two lancet windows, and to the right, there are four windows and buttresses on the nave. The north elevation has four windows and three buttresses on the nave to the right, with the tower at the extreme right. The gable of the church hall on the left has two windows and a door, with a later modern addition at the far left. The north gable features three-light stepped lancet windows and two buttresses, with the lower part obscured by the original church hall and a later addition.

The interior has not been seen. There are also four saddleback-coped gatepiers on the west elevation, accompanied by plain iron railings on the north and west elevations.
