Background
History
The church was built in 1801–04 at a cost of £441 11s 6d. The architect is said to be Michael Carmichael. Originally there were galleries at both ends reached by external staircases, but these no longer exist, perhaps removed in a re-ordering ca. 1912. The church was built as a chapel in the parish of Jura, but became independent in 1861 when James MacKenzie was appointed the first minister. In 2016 the church merged with the Baptist congregation and is completely ecumenical. In 2023 it was proposed to merge the parish with that at Netherlorn.
