The South Kirk is one of many churches and religious meeting places in the Broch. For people faced with the perils of the sea, demonstrating their faith has always been important. However, over the years, folk have changed where and how they worship, not least in 1843. This was the year of the Great Schism, when the Free Church broke away from the Church of Scotland. That date is carved on the front of this church although the building was constructed many years later.

Inside the church, if you get a chance to visit it, you’ll see what’s known as the ‘Moses stone’, a relic of the short-lived university of Fraserburgh. Its style of carving is reminiscent on the ceiling bosses in the Wine Tower at Stop 4.

If you look down the slope behind the church, you’ll see a granite engine shed. It’s the last remnant of Fraserburgh’s railway station.
