adjoining) raised on hill overlooking village. Coursed
squared rubble, contrasting painted margins and long and

east wall has pointed doorway and corbelled apex belfry.
Cross finial. Slate roof.
Interior: triple-arched chancel screen with cusped framing
above; altar supported on boat's bow, ship's lamp on nearby
column. Gallery to south with balustraded front. Stone font
in porch may be from an earlier building. Enclosed by
rubble-built wall (harled at south and at east).
Iron bell to north east on iron frame is from S.M.S.
Derfflinger, and recovered from Scapa Flow.
Ecclesiastical building in use as such.
Built during ministry of Father Allan MacDonald, poet and
folklorist.
Presbytery is too altered to merit inclusion on the list.
