The Church of the Holy Family was designed by leading Scottish Roman Catholic architect, Reginald Fairlie, in the early 1930’s.
Fairlie’s church was financed by the Stirling’s of Keir. The family converted to Catholicism on the marriage of Brigadier General Archibald Stirling of Keir to The Honourable Margaret Mary Fraser, a catholic and daughter of 13th Baron Lovat in 1910. The Honourable Margaret Stirling, as she became, financed the church as a memorial to her husband raising funds through the sale of an El Greco painting to the National Gallery, London.
The style of the church is Romanesque, reminiscent of early Celtic buildings and with an Art and Craft type roof. All the material in the church came from the Keir estates, including the stone work, slates and rafters which are held together by simple joinery.
The church is called the Church of the Holy Family because it was opened for worship on the Feast of the Holy Family, December 27, 1934.
