Former Trinity Free Kirk Hall, Castle Street
This building is marked on the mid-Victorian six-inch Ordnance Survey map as a school, and as such must have been associated with the Trinity and Alvah Free Kirk next door. Both buildings are now run as Riverside Church by Harvest Ministries, a small independent Christian denomination.

Trinity and Alvah Free Kirk
This kirk is uncharacteristically elaborate for an early Free Kirk. It is cruciform, with an octagonal dome above an Ionic portico. The architect was James Raeburn, from the next parish, Boyndie, and the kirk was built in 1843, almost immediately after the Disruption, when the Rev Francis William Grant and a substantial number of parishioners left the Church of Scotland. It rejoined the Church of Scotland in 1929 and was in use until 1995. It is now an independent church belonging to Harvest Ministries.

Castlegate Newsagents
Each time I pass along the High Street, this building grates on me. It is so totally out of keeping with the 18th and 19th century houses round about.
