Carnoustie Parish Kirk
Built 1900-1902 to a design by Peter Macrgegor Chalmers in Early Christian and Neo-Romanesque style. It was supposed to have a steeple or spire but this was never built. It's one of only five listed buildings in the whole of the town of Carnoustie, being Category C Listed. See Link

Former Kirk

Even at low tide, there is no sand on the eastern side of the coastal defences.

At this point the use of the land transitions from golf course (north) to military installation (south) - the radar visible here is part of the latter. This is the view to the southwest, just an hour after low tide. The sea reaches up to the rock barrier, even when the water is low.
