Memus is a small village in the county of Angus in Scotland, close to the foothills of the Grampian Mountains. Its church was built to a design by Carver & Symon in 1843 and named the Free Church of Tannadice. It was repaired in 1900.
It is dominated by its only feature of note, the baroque-style bellcote on top of the pedimented south gable. Surrounded by a tall hedge, this side of the church is the most visible, with the doorway at this end.
The shallow pitched roof comes to a point with the red rubble belfry. It is round arched with rectangular uprights. The bell is suspended with a round-arched opening. Rectangular pilasters support the bellcote and frame the doorway.
The church occupies a corner site at the junction of two minor roads on the south side of the village.
