Back of the old church
The High Church of Campsie is Category A listed. Built in 1828 (David Hamilton, Architect), it was in use as the parish church until 1976. On the night of 24 August 1984 a fire raged through the building causing extensive damage to most of the interior and the roof. More recently the Lennoxtown Initiative has stabilised the ruin and restored the clock. There is a great deal of vegetation grown both within and on the fabric of the building, which should probably be removed.

A lot of work going on around here - I think it may be a new housing development.
