Background

History

The name derives from the Norse for "gully village". The parish of Golspie was anciently called Kilmaly or Kilmalie, with its parish church at Kirkton, 2 miles west of the modern village. A chapel dedicated to St Andrew existed at Golspie from at least 1330, and in 1619 the chapel at Golspie was made the parish church, after which the parish became known instead as Golspie and the old church at Kirkton was abandoned. St Andrew's Church was largely rebuilt in 1738.. North of Golspie is an Iron Age broch called Backies Broch.
