Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Banff Parish Kirk. The parish kirk of Banff, dedicated to St Mary, replaced and earlier kirk on High Shore. The original kirk was designed and built in 1790 by Banff architect Andrew Wilson. William Robertson of Elgin added the spire in 1829. Other work was done by Thomas Mackenzie and George Bennet Mitchell. It is a category 'B' listed building. See http://hsewsf.sedsh.gov.uk/hslive/hsstart?P_HBNUM=22029 for more details.


The small temple-like building to the right is Collie Lodge, which was originally a gate lodge to Duff House, facing Collie Street which was where the car park now is. The lodge was almost certainly designed by William Robertson of Elgin, who also designed the nearby Banff Academy. Built in 1836, it now houses the tourist information centre. It is a Category B listed building.


As a complete contrast, in the car park to the left of the kirk is a red-and-white van which, parked permanently there, advertises the Eastside Shopping Centre, better known as the 'Spotty Bag Shop' because of the plastic bags with red and black spots which it supplies to customers to carry away their purchases.
