Statement of Special Interest

The Church and Manse were formerly listed separately. Pitroddie Secession Church formerly had a very tall piended roof with stacks and 2 tall 32-pane square-headed windows flanking date panel. On 21st June, 1808 it was decided to erect a new manse some 33' x 16'; Mr John McLish was to prepare an estimate. The finishing of the inside work of the manse was settled with Thomas Ritchie on 16th April, 1810. Kilspindie minutes note that on 3rd June, 1816 a Mr Proudfoot (evidently an architect of a sort) laid a plan of the chapel before the managers. A grant of "the loose stones in the Den" was obtained and two of the managers drove them at a cost of 26s 9d with 9s 5d for sand. Thomas Thompson undertook to build it in two months from 15th July at 35/- a rood, John Bell (Bridgend) slated it for ?17, the wright and glazier work cost ?78. It was to have had gables but with "the fear of walls renting with unequal weight it was unanimously agreed to pavilion the same". The original church on this site was built by the parishioners, 1789-91, from clay. The final service held at Pitroddie Secession Church was on 17th May, 1931, led by Rev A S Marshall of Glendoick.

About Listed Buildings

Historic Environment Scotland is responsible for designating sites and places at the national level. These designations are Scheduled monuments, Listed buildings, Inventory of gardens and designed landscapes and Inventory of historic battlefields.

We make recommendations to the Scottish Government about historic marine protected areas, and the Scottish Ministers decide whether to designate.

Listing is the process that identifies, designates and provides statutory protection for buildings of special architectural or historic interest as set out in the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) (Scotland) Act 1997.

We list buildings which are found to be of special architectural or historic interest using the selection guidance published in Designation Policy and Selection Guidance (2019)

Listed building records provide an indication of the special architectural or historic interest of the listed building which has been identified by its statutory address. The description and additional information provided are supplementary and have no legal weight.

These records are not definitive historical accounts or a complete description of the building(s). If part of a building is not described it does not mean it is not listed. The format of the listed building record has changed over time. Earlier records may be brief and some information will not have been recorded.

The legal part of the listing is the address/name of site which is known as the statutory address. Other than the name or address of a listed building, further details are provided for information purposes only. Historic Environment Scotland does not accept any liability for any loss or damage suffered as a consequence of inaccuracies in the information provided. Addresses and building names may have changed since the date of listing. Even if a number or name is missing from a listing address it will still be listed. Listing covers both the exterior and the interior and any object or structure fixed to the building. Listing also applies to buildings or structures not physically attached but which are part of the curtilage (or land) of the listed building as long as they were erected before 1 July 1948.

While Historic Environment Scotland is responsible for designating listed buildings, the planning authority is responsible for determining what is covered by the listing, including what is listed through curtilage. However, for listed buildings designated or for listings amended from 1 October 2015, legal exclusions to the listing may apply.

If part of a building is not listed, it will say that it is excluded in the statutory address and in the statement of special interest in the listed building record. The statement will use the word 'excluding' and quote the relevant section of the 1997 Act. Some earlier listed building records may use the word 'excluding', but if the Act is not quoted, the record has not been revised to reflect subsequent legislation.

Listed building consent is required for changes to a listed building which affect its character as a building of special architectural or historic interest. The relevant planning authority is the point of contact for applications for listed building consent.
