Built 1864 and known to all and sundry in Aberdeen as the Tartan Kirkie due to the differently coloured granite and sandstone used in its construction. Note also the coloured slates on the roof. The interior is equally striking. A-listed: http://www.britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/sc-19964-carden-place-at-albert-terrace-st-mary-s- (follow the link for more details of the stone used).
