Macduff Parish Church
Aberdeenshire
The parish church occupies a prominent position in the community of Macduff. On a hill overlooking the harbour, the building was opened in 1805. With its Italianate square tower, domed roof and cupola added in 1865, it is a landmark for boats approaching the town. Points of architectural interest include the stained-glass windows installed in 1922 to the memory of local people who died in the World War 1. These were created by the City Glass Company of Glasgow and displayed at the Royal Academy in London. More recently stained-glass windows by the artist Jennifer-Jane Bayliss, were added to the vestibule to commemorate the links with Malawi. The organ was built in 1903.
The building has been continually updated and renovated to meet the needs of an active congregation. On Sunday, visitors in the morning will be able to attend the regular service of worship that starts at 11am.
The graveyard surrounding the church is also worth a visit with many interesting gravestones as well as several Commonwealth Commission Graves.
Over the weekend guides will be available to talk about the church building and the work of the congregation.
