This is the former Free Kirk at Clola, no longer used for worship. Its unusual design by Campbell, Douglas and Stevenson dates from 1863. The 1976 map, curiously, shows it as a kirk with a (round) tower rather than a (square) spire. An 'Original Seceder' congregation was formed here in 1769 and a kirk built in 1784, and this kirk may or may not be the replacement for the earlier one. It is in the parish of Old Deer.
