Statement of Interest

Ecclesiastical building no longer in use as such. The spirelet bellcote was designed and erected by 'mason contractor' from Lochcarron who also built a Church of Scotland at Dornie By Kyle. Not to be confused with another near contemporary church in Stromeferry, the former Church of Scotland Mission Church.
