Barn Church, Culloden

The Barn Church features both old and new structures, with the original building now serving as a church hall while the newer construction holds main services.

Originally constructed as a tithe barn for Culloden House estate, the building provided shelter to Jacobite soldiers before the Battle of Culloden in 1746.

The parish serves multiple communities including Culloden, Balloch, Smithton, Westhill, and Cradlehall, organizing regular worship services and community gatherings throughout the year.

The church contains multiple spaces including a main hall for large congregations and smaller rooms for various activities under the administration of the Church of Scotland.

The original structure contains distinctive slit windows designed for defense and parallel doors that create air circulation patterns necessary for grain winnowing.
