Buckie Seamen's Memorial Chapel

This small memorial chapel is located in an area of terraced cottages and houses, mostly 19th century in date and an area of Buckie were many fishermen and their families lived when the town's harbour was a hive of activity. There is currently little information about the chapel or when it was built, but it would appear to be still in ecclesiastical use, although entry was not possible during a site visit. It stands at the end of New Street, not far from the town centre and Cluny Square. 

The chapel is a small building, aligned approximately east-west. It has a gable to the west and a hipped or piended roof at the eastern end. It was built with coursed, roughly-tooled (bull-faced) granite blocks with ashlar surrounds and dressings. The small roof is slated and has red ridge tiles. 

The entrance into the chapel is through a narrow, gabled porch on the south side. It has a rectangular doorway on the east face and a small trefoil-heded window in the south gable. The south wall of the chapel, along with the east and north sides, has fairly small pointed-arch windows with stained glass. The west gable is crowstepped and there is a tall stone chimney on the apex and a metal finial at the east end of the roof's ridge.
