Bon Accord Free Church, Category C listed church building in Rosemount Viaduct, Aberdeen, Scotland.
The Bon Accord Free Church stands on Rosemount Viaduct with two prominent domes rising above its sandstone facade. Inside, the sanctuary displays original organ pipes as decoration above the pulpit and contains modern seating arrangements with the balcony retaining older bench seating.
The church was designed by architect Robert Gordon Wilson and completed in 1896 on the site of the former Union Baptist Chapel. The building represents the architectural style and religious landscape of Aberdeen during the late Victorian period.
The name references Aberdeen's historic motto 'Bon Accord', connecting the building to the city's identity. Today the congregation gathers here for worship and hosts community events throughout the week.
Visit during regular worship services when the building is typically open to guests and the community. It is worth contacting ahead to confirm access and to learn about any special events or gatherings taking place.
The decorative organ pipes displayed above the pulpit are remnants of the original 19th-century instrument that once filled the space with music. They were kept in place as a visual link to the building's musical past after the working organ was removed.
