Description
Kilmore Parish Church of Scotland in Drumnadrochit is a tall, rectangular church designed by architect William Robertson from Elgin in 1836. The church is oriented east-west and features harled walls with tooled ashlar margins. The west gable has a pointed-headed entrance at its center, with a similarly lintelled gallery window above, flanked by long round-headed blind windows. The church has symmetrical long elevations with four bays, each featuring long windows with four-centred heads and simple Y-tracery. The east gable has a similar but wider window, which is partially blocked at the base by the Minister's porch and vestry. The windows are decorated with lattice-pane glazing.
Atop the west gable is a bellcote with Gothic detailing and a stiff leaf decoration on the finial, while a simple square finial sits at the apex of the east gable. The church has crowsteps and a slate roof.
Inside, the church has a galleried interior, with the gallery extending to three sides. The plain front of the gallery, which is a later addition, is supported by painted cast-iron cluster columns. There is a late 19th-century Minister's dais reached by a short stair, and the pews were brought from elsewhere in 1958. The interior also features some mural memorials and stained glass in the east window. The church has an unusual scissor-braced roof and houses a church bell dated 1780. Surrounding the church is a burial ground enclosed by a drystone wall.
