Description
An account of the resource
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;" class="western">Fraserburgh Old Parish Church is located on the site of the original church, which was built in 1572 not long after the Reformation. The current church was constructed in 1803 using some material from the original building. The current church stands on a prominent site in the town centre and is an instantly recognisable landmark for the town. The current Interiors were remodelled by the celebrated architect A. Marshall Mackenzie in 1898. The superb stained glass window, adorning the chancel, is indeed a work of great art and beauty and it is reckoned to be one of the late Douglas Strachan's best works. The organ was installed by Forster and Andrews of Hull in 1892.</p>
