Rubislaw Church, Category B listed church in Queens Cross, Aberdeen, Scotland
Rubislaw Church is a sandstone building located near Queens Gardens in Aberdeen's Queens Cross area. The interior is organized into a main church space, a mezzanine level, a hall, meeting rooms, kitchen, and restroom facilities.
The church was built following the Church of Scotland's expansion after the Disruption of 1843, with the main structure completed in 1874. The tower was added 6 years later.
This church serves as a gathering place for local Presbyterian worship and community events throughout the year. It remains an active part of the neighborhood's social fabric.
The building sits in a residential area near Queens Cross with good access to the city center. Entry is straightforward with wide doors suitable for different types of gatherings and events.
Unlike most Aberdeen buildings made from granite, this structure uses sandstone because a major financing offer for granite construction arrived after the contract was already signed. This material choice sets it apart visually from its surroundings.
