Description

Duirinish Parish Church, built between 1823 and 1832, is a simple tall Gothic Revival rectangular church located on the Isle of Skye. The church features a battlemented tower on its northwest elevation and is constructed from whitewashed rubble with dressed stone margins. It is oriented roughly southeast to northwest. The entrance, which has a pointed arch, is located at the base of the four-stage tower, which rises two short upper stages above the apex of the gable. The tower is adorned with angle pinnacles and has two flanking windows. The side elevations have three bays, each containing three pointed-headed windows, while the east gable has two windows. All windows are pointed-headed with Y-tracery and glazing, although some are blind. The church is topped with a slate roof.

Inside, the church retains its original fittings and features a gallery that is galleried on three sides. The front of the gallery is panelled and supported by simple Roman Doric columns. An octagonal panelled pulpit is accessed by a flight of stairs on the right, with a penitent's platform to the left. The rear of the pulpit has a panelled false door and doorpiece, along with a pinnacled polygonal groined sounding board that has a white ogee roof topped by a wooden urn.
