A church built on a circular floor plan adjacent to and attached to Mearns Castle, by Walter Ramsay Architects, built in 1971. 'In 1970 the congregation of Maxwell Church Pollok Street, Glasgow were forced to find a new site for their church due to the construction of the Kingston Bridge. It was decided that a new church should be built adjacent to Mearns Castle. The congregation held services in the Mearns Castle hall until the church, Maxwell Mearns Castle Parish Church of Scotland, was completed. The church is attached to the castle but the castle itself is no longer used by the church.'
