St Peter's Church, Buckie
Dublin Core
Title
St Peter's Church, Buckie
Description
Designed by Bishop Kyle and the Architect, Alexander Ellis the foundations were laid in 1851 and the church completed in 1857. The resulting fine Gothic Church with its prominent west front (said to be a reduced version of that of Elgin Cathedral) with its twin towers and spires, has become one of the Landmarks of the area.
The grandeur of the exterior of St Peter's is matched by the richness of the interior, which has been enhanced in later years. The interior is unusually light, with clerestory windows along the length of the nave, and a large Gothic window in the west front above the choir.
Listed Category A.
