History and Architecture:
The stone Church was completed in 1855 and erected through the efforts of Reverend Peter Gun. It was modelled on the church at Tacher Scotland, where Peter Gun preached his first sermon. During the construction, Peter Gunn acted as a foreman of works and majority of the labour used was voluntary.
The bluesotnes for the church were quarried from a site near Falkiner Cemetary. The Church bell was a gift from the people of Caithness in Scotland.
