Description
An account of the resource
<p>The foundation stone was laid on Thursday 29 May 1788, by Letterfourie and his brother. The Chapel was opened for Holy Mass on Whit Sunday (Pentecost), 23 May 1790.</p><p>Described as a wide rectangular Church with harled walls and freestone dressing, with flanking staircase pavilions, well-disposed headed openings, and a pedimented gable. The Church is adorned with urn finials; its west end is a charming product of eighteenth century taste, in which Italian baroque has been skilfully naturalised in a Banffshire setting.</p><p>No chapel approaching its pretensions has been erected in Scotland since the Reformation. Even now, in the opinion of many appropriately qualified to decide, it is surpassed by no other Chapel in Scotland in spaciousness and in the elegance of its internal proportions.</p><p>Listed Category B.</p>
