Old photograph of the North Church in Buckie on the Moray Firth, Scotland. North Parish Church occupies a large and prominent corner location on the edge of Cluny Square in the centre of Buckie. It was built in the late 1870s to replace a smaller church on the site, which had only been built forty years earlier by architect William Robertson but was deemed too small to accomodate the growing congregation. A large later hall complex was built on to the rear of the church and is used both by the church congregation and numerous local groups and societies. The church is a large, prominent building, which is dominated by its large corner tower. The largest Church of Scotland congregation in the town worships in the North Church.
