Former Free Church (Craigmyle Free Church), Torphins : Dt : 1844
This small former Free Church was built by architect James Henderson in 1843-4 at the start of the Disruption. It is located just to the east of Torphins,at Greystones, Craigmyle , along a small single-track road, where a number of modern houses have been built. The church has been converted into a private house and is surrounded by mature gardens, which overlook the wide valley south of Torphins.

The original church was rectangular on plan and orientated approximately north-south. It had large round-arched windows along the side walls, which now have recent glazing, and has, as in the original, a slate roof. There is now a chimney on the south gable and the original open 'birdcage' style bellcote has been removed. NJ 6345 0140 (NJ635014) map
