Shettleston New Church is an early 20th-century church building of the Church of Scotland in the Shettleston district of Glasgow, Scotland.
The church was designed in the Neo-Gothic style by W. G. Rowan in 1897. It was built between 1901 and 1904 using Old Red Sandstone.[1] The memorial stone was laid on 11 October 1902. A steeple with a spire was also built with buttresses stepped in at the narrow top. Art nouveau sculptures were also built at the doorway, including a big traceried gable window over the west door. The church hall was built in 1899.[2]
