St Ninian's Church, Tynet

St Ninian's Church is a clandestine historical Catholic church. Built in 1755, it is the oldest Catholic church built in Scotland after the Reformation. In the tradition of barn churches, St Ninian's was given the appearance of a long, low barn. The church has a simple whitewashed interior with a fireplace and a single large room. A reused door with Corinthian columns leads from the fireplace and the baptistery to the church itself. The simple wooden benches and the confessional are painted grey. A simple octagonal pulpit with soundboard dates from 1787. The building was restored in 1951.
