This town church, built in 1912 by A. Ross, has sandstone walls and a slate roof. It has both Episcopal and Roman Catholic services, and is in good condition. Researched by D. Alston, compiled by J. Dowling, 28/8/03. Comment left on 12 November 2016 at 19:55 by PAUL MACKENZIE
No Roman Catholic services at present. (Don't quite understand the 'researched by D. Alston, compiled by J. Dowling' bit). Comment left on 15 November 2016 at 23:24 by Sandy Thomson
Sorry - bit of confusion over the date of the building. The foundation stone was laid in 1904, and the building was completed in 1906. Initially it was called All Saints Church - the change to St Regulus came as a result of a donation. Comment left on 15 November 2016 at 23:37 by Sandy Thomson
Does anyone know if the trowel, used at the laying of the foundation stone, and presented to the Dean of Fortrose by Mr W J Smith, (April 1937) is still on display in the church? On that date the church was still known as All Saints. Comment left on 28 November 2016 at 11:01 by Alex Grant
