Title
Craigiebuckler Church
Description
John Cardno Couper, now known as John Couper of Craigiebuckler, purchased Craigiebuckler Estate in 1863 and "decided that, as a laird, it was now his duty to provide for the spiritual welfare of the community". As such, an "iron church" was first erected on the estate and was known as the "Iron Kirkie" from its opening in 1873. However, John Couper wanted a more durable and permanent structure, which resulted in the erection of a new church. This new structure was built by the highly-respected architect Alexander Marshall Mackenzie in 1883. "John Couper gave a free site and paid for fully half the cost of the erection of the stone and lime church (...). When Craigiebuckler church, on Walker Dam Road, opened on the second Sunday in February, 1883 it was completely free of debt, a position of envy to many churches".
