Ecclesiastical building no longer in use as such. The foundation stone is inscribed as follows, "This stone was laid by the Hon Arthur Kinnaird MP and The Revd John Kennedy DD 28th August 1877". Rev Kennedy, born in Aberfeldy, was the so-called non-conformist Bishop of Stepney, London. In 1988 the church was sold to the community for £1 with the condition that it not be used for commercial gain. The initial conversion took place in 1989, with further work carried out in 1999 aided by Lottery funding. Now (2001) the converted spaces house the Perthshire Tourist Board, Perth College Adult Learning Centre and Locus Breadalbane Ltd. Dated 1877; converted 1989, and 1999 by GAIA Architect of Aberfeldy.
