Church of Scotland built at Struy in 1839 by Chisholm of
Chisholm, the area being distant from Parish churches of
both Kiltarlity and Kilmorack. Church appears to have been
served by visiting Ministers until James Fraser appointed 1st
Minister in 1881 and parish erected in 1884. Church now
gutted (1884).
