Old Parish Church, Peterhead
Old Parish Church (also known as Muckle Kirk) is a Category A listed building located on Maiden Street in Peterhead, Aberdeenshire, Scotland. Local brothers Robert and John Mitchell built the church between 1804 and 1806, to a design by Alexander Laing, of Edinburgh. Its Burgerhuys bell dates to 1647.
The church closed in 2016, and its congregation merged with Peterhead's Trinity Church to form Peterhead New Parish Church.
