Gilcomston South Church, Church building on Union Street in Aberdeen, Scotland
Gilcomston South Church is a church building on Union Street constructed from granite and sandstone, featuring a slender spire added in 1875. The interior contains stained glass windows created by various artists and a historically significant organ from the early 1900s.
The building was constructed in 1868 according to designs by architect William Smith and later received protected heritage status. A major interior renovation took place in the early 2000s.
The congregation transitioned from the Church of Scotland to become an independent evangelical community, and the building continues to host regular worship and social gatherings. It serves as a spiritual center for those seeking a connection to the neighborhood's religious traditions.
The building is located in a central area of Aberdeen and is easily reached on foot. Visitors should contact in advance to arrange access or confirm when tours are available.
The building houses a pipe organ built by Binns in 1902, which remains in working condition and is a remarkable feature of the interior. The instrument represents an important piece of the building's acoustic heritage.
