[3] The building was converted for use as a lay training centre and was officially opened in 1958 by the evangelical Church of Scotland minister D. P. Thomson.

It was extensively used for over 50 years as a training and conference venue by church groups, for both day visits and residential events.

Planning permission was then sought for a change of use, and the building was sold off and converted into private flats, which today are rented out as holiday accommodation.

[6] The church was designed by the Scottish architect Thomas Lennox Watson in an early Gothic Revival style fronted with ashlar stone.

In 1982, a stone-clad flat-roofed porch was added to the front and an octagonal chapel built on the south-west side.
