Building

This distinctive church was designed by the architect J. J. Stevenson and built 1898–1902. Red sandstone is used, as in many buildings in Glasgow. It was built by the Free Church of Scotland as the Nathanial Stevenson Memorial Free Church,[1] becoming part of the United Free Church of Scotland in 1900, which in turn united with the Church of Scotland in 1929.

The church has a "crown tower", similar to the Chapel of King's College, Aberdeen[1] and St. Giles Cathedral in Edinburgh. The church is located adjacent to the River Kelvin in Belmont Street at Belmont Bridge.
