Inside, the semi-octagonal apse was inspired by the 15th-century apse of the Church of the Holy Rude in Stirling.
The organ is by Perth native Henry Bryceson's company of London and dates to 1881. It was built for the former Morningside United Presbyterian Church and moved here in 1985, installed in a modern ash case.
