Kirkandrews Kirk

Tucked into a fold of land which shelters it from the sea winds along the Carrick Shore, you will find an extraordinary small building. B listed Kirkandrews Kirk was built in 1906 by Mr James Brown of Knockbrex, as part of the grand architectural scheme for the estate.

This tiny Kirk looks like a miniature castle with a turret which disguises a chimney and bold castellation. A lych gate leads up steps to an entrance bell tower complete with portcullis and a patterned cobbled floor. A greenish light glints in through marbled glass windows and wall mounted candelabra and a large open fireplace, complete the impression of charm and intimacy.

Directions: From Kirkcudbright take the coast road signposted Borgue over the bridge. In Borgue, bear left up the hill, signposted Carrick and continue for almost 2 miles, then turn left. The Kirk is on your left. There is limited parking on the roadside.

Sorry, no toilets, no disabled access.
