St Gregory's Church, Preshome, Roman Catholic church in Moray, Scotland

The church building features harled walls with freestone dressing, displaying a rectangular structure with urn finials on its Italian Baroque-influenced exterior.

Constructed in 1788, St Gregory's Church represents the first Catholic church openly built in Scotland after the Reformation period of 1560.

The interior contains a marble altar, a pipe organ from 1820, and a copy of St Gregory the Great painting by Annibale Caracci.
