The foundation stone of the Church of the Incarnation at Tombae was laid in 1827, and work was completed only a matter of days before the great flood which swept through Glenlivet in 1829. John Gall, an Aberdeen architect, designed the church, though its interior dates from the 1840s when it was remodelled by Bishop James Kyle.

Designed in Gothic style, the impressive western frontage of the church features medieval elements such as pinnacled buttresses, battlements and lancet windows. These are used throughout the building and give the church its surprisingly light interior. The medieval character of the church is emphasised by the use of a lofty rib-vaulted ceiling, complete with Gothic-style pillars made of cast iron and covered by timber panelling with plaster capitals. Other features inside the church include the organ with its decorated pipes which sits in a narrow gallery running along the western wall of the church.

The adjacent burial-ground dates from around the middle of the nineteenth century and many of the headstones are cut from local slate.

The Church and the adjacent Manse have been bought and are currently being converted as at 2020.
