Findhorn Church of Scotland

Built in 1843 as a Free Church to a design by John Urquhart (1795-1869), architect/builder. A native of Forres, Urquhart worked for many years in Edinburgh, returning to his native town in 1841. The design, with its pilastered doorway and upper lunettes (semi-circular lights), is unusual, quietly restrained and with some similarity to Free Churches by John Cousins, architect, Edinburgh, whose work may have influenced Urquhart.
