St Peter's & St Andrews Church is a church of the Church of Scotland. The church was built to a design by William Burn in 1830–2, a simplified version of the Church of St John the Evangelist in Edinburgh, which is also attributed to Burn.

Built in 1832 to a design by William Burn, the church is the focal point of the town and stands in front of the Town Square Garden and the War Memorial. A massive Gothic building with retaining walls and a tall square tower.
