Fortrose Free Church
Fortrose Free Church The church has served the community for over a century but structural problems have arisen which would cost several hundred thousand pounds in replacement and so the congregation has taken the decision to erect a new church on the present site. The adjacent town hall will be used for services while construction takes place.
Demolition of Fortrose Free Church
Demolition began shortly thereafter. Removing considerable amounts of soil from the site and delays due to weather conditions during the winter months Dec 2017- Jan 2018 have resulted in increased costs but the congregation has responded to the challenge of raising the estimated total of £750,000.
