If I read 'The Buildings of Scotland' correctly, this kirk replaces a Chapel of Ease built in 1816-1817 and enlarged in 1838-1839. It was built in 1885-1889 to a design by Mackenzie and McMillan in Early English style, featuring rose windows, corbelled pinnacles and a bellecote, underneath which the date 1885 is carved. A prominent landmark, it is Category C Listed. It is no longer in ecclesiastical use, now being the premises of RUM Consultancy Ltd https://rumconsultancy.co.uk/ and renamed RUM House.
