Designed by [[Harry Stuart Goodhart-Rendel|Harry Stuart Goodhart Rendel]] and is his only known building in Scotland.<ref>{{cite web |title=Basic Site Details: SS Ninian, Martin and John RC Church |date=2016 |work=Dictionary of Scottish Architects |publisher=Historic Environment Scotland / Arts & Humanities Research Council / University of St Andrews / Royal Incorporation of Architects in Scotland / Edinburgh College of Art |url= http://www.scottisharchitects.org.uk/building_full.php?id=406695 |access-date=18 September 2023}}</ref> The interior was reordered with the altar brought forward from the east wall following the reforms of the [[Second Vatican Council]]. At that time the [[baldacchino]] was also demolished, and the decorative ironwork at the baptistry and communion rail scrapped.  The original [[Creetown]] granite altar was placed outside against the east elevation. A possible source of inspiration is the church of [[San Julián de los Prados]] Ovieda, Asturias in Spain.<ref>{{cite web |url= http://aye-whithorn.blogspot.com/2011/01/goodhart-rendels-inspiration.html?m=1 |title=Goodhart-Rendel's Inspiration |work=Whithorn |date=10 January 2011 |access-date=18 September 2023}}</ref> The East elevation has a carved [[Hew Lorimer]] crucifix mounted to the wall. The crucifix has not fared well after poor cleaning in 1997 led to significant loss of detail. The church including the quadrant walls is listed Category C(S).<ref>{{Cite web |title=GEORGE STREET, ST MARTIN AND ST NINIAN ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH, INCLUDING QUADRANT WALLS (LB51291) |url=https://portal.historicenvironment.scot/designation/LB51291 |access-date=2024-01-01 |website=portal.historicenvironment.scot}}</ref>
