St Ninian's Church, Tynet, Roman Catholic church in Moray, Scotland
The elongated single-story stone building extends ten axes in width with natural stone framing and eight twelve-pane sash windows along the north facade.
The current structure, built in 1755, replaced an earlier church destroyed by soldiers in 1728 and stands as Scotland's oldest post-Reformation Catholic church still in use.
The building's intentional design resembling a barn allowed local Catholics to practice their faith secretly during a period of religious restrictions in Scotland.
St Ninian's Church sits at the edge of a forest near Bridge of Tynet, with its main entrance located on the penultimate axis of the southwest side.
The interior features an original octagonal pulpit from 1787, Corinthian columns connecting the foyer to the main church area, and grey-painted confessional.
