Built in 1875 to a design by Glasgow-based architect Donald Bruce (1834-1919), this prominent Category B listed building is no longer in ecclesiastical use and was converted into flats in 2000. Its claim to fame is that it was one of the first buildings in Scotland to be constructed, not of stone, but of concrete blocks. That was not the original intention, but to keep the costs down the cheaper option of concrete, tooled to make it look more like ashlar, was taken. It cost between £2500 and £2600 to build.
