The Architect, A. Marshall from Elgin, was responsible
for the plans of this simple Gothic style church whose elegance
blends naturally with the surrounding tree covered hillside.
The Tourist standing at the entrance to the church is able
to take in the splendour of the fine views across the River
Dee.
Sitting high on Creag-an-Lurachain is Prince
Alberts memorial cairn, the largest of a number of cairns
erected by Queen Victoria on the Balmoral Estate. Beyond the
cairn is the majestic peak of Lochnagar, snow topped even
as late as June on occasion.
Many of the features of this local church from the plain
granite walls to the impressive Scots Pine roof and stained
glass windows in the chancel and transepts and equally the
many gifts donated by individual member of the Royal Family
over the years are well worth seeing.
Open to visitors daily from 09.30-17.00 from Easter to 31st
October. Sunday Worship is at 11.30 to which everyone is warmly
welcomed.
