Old Parish Church (also known as Muckle Kirk)[1] 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,[2] [3] [4] to a design by Alexander Laing, of Edinburgh.[5] Its Burgerhuys bell dates to 1647.[6]
The church closed in 2016, and its congregation merged with Peterhead's Trinity Church to form Peterhead New Parish Church.[7]
