Description

Edinbellie is an earlier 18th-century rectangular-plan building, originally designed as a T-plan that included an aisle to the north. It served as a United Presbyterian church and is now a barn. The building features a symmetrical design with flat-arched openings that have splayed voussoirs, except on the north elevation, where there are flush surrounds to the openings. The structure is made of coursed sandstone rubble with ashlar dressings and has an eaves cornice.

On the south elevation, which was the principal entrance, the area is largely overgrown as of 1999. The central entrance is now blocked and was originally topped by a circular window. There are two windows on either side, with the outer left and right windows being of lower height.

The east and west elevations have a central entrance, and the outline of a former gabled porch is still visible. There is a blocked window above the gable.

The north elevation features a large inserted barn entrance to the left of the center and a window, likely added later, to the right. The glazing has been removed, and door furniture is also absent. The roof is covered with grey slate.

Inside, there is practically no evidence remaining of the building's former use. The roof trusses have been replaced, although some corbels that once supported a gallery are still partly intact.

Local climate

Edinbellie sits in one of the wettest parts of the UK, with an average of 1,420 mm of rain a year. This makes it wetter than 97% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is greater than that of 81% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 56 freeze-thaw cycles a year, more than 96% of listed buildings. Of these, 34 follow at least 1 mm of rain in the preceding 48 hours. Average temperatures at this location have risen by 0.3°C per decade since 1991.

Averages for 1991–2020; temperature trend 1991–2025. Figures describe the wider area (a grid cell of roughly 10 km), not the individual site. Contains modified Copernicus Climate Change Service information 2026.
