Former St Margaret's Free Kirk
The original 14th century parish kirk stood not far from here, but fell into disrepair when the new kirk on Gas Hill, north of the village, was built in 1843. This was the year of the Disruption of the Kirk, and the Free Kirk congregation used some of the stones from the old kirk to build this Free Kirk, named St Margaret's after the ancient Priory which stood near Clockeasy. The congregations merged again in 1838 and the kirk was sold in 1948. The door in the gable end has been enlarged to form a garage. (Thanks to James Denham for information about the building and its history.)
