St John's Church, LongsideWelcome to the website of St John’s Church, Longside, the “Cathedral of Buchan.”  It is the “home” of the Rev John Skinner, the Clergyman, Theologian, Historian, poet, and our incumbant from 1742 until 1807.  We have copies of his works and some of his personal possessions that are available to view, and his grave is situated in the churchyard behind the Longside Parish Church.

We are a congregation within the Diocese of Aberdeen and Orkney, part of the Scottish Episcopal Church.  We are linked to St Drostan’s Church in Old Deer and St Peter’s Church in Peterhead.  The post of Rector is currently vacant.

Other officebearers include:

  • Secretary:  Mr George Marshall
  • Lay Rep:  Mrs Moira Nelson
  • Treasurer:  Mr D Murison

We hope we will be able to welcome you.  Our church is open during service hours.  Alternatively, you can arrange to view the church by contacting our secretary, George Marshall on  07717 282474.

Where we are:

St John’s Church is situated just out of the village on the Peterhead Road.  Parking is available in front of the Church Hall, located to the right of the Church.
