Description
Lochcarron Parish Church, built around 1840, is a tall, rectangular church constructed with harled walls and ashlar margins. The south elevation is dominated by four long Gothic windows featuring Y-tracery, wooden mullions, and multi-pane glazing. There are two smaller pointed-head windows in the east gable, and the entrance is situated in the centre of the west gable, now concealed behind a modern glazed porch. A squat bellcote with pinnacles sits atop the west gable, and a cross is positioned at the east gable apex. The roof is slate.
The interior is simple and appears to have been remodeled in the late 19th century. A gallery occupies the west end, and a long communion table is present. The church was originally designed to accommodate 700 to 800 people; the current layout provides less seating. The communion table is likely original, though the pulpit is not. The east gable windows and the present interior arrangement may be the work of Alexander Ross, dating to 1883. This building replaced an earlier church from 1751; the ruins and burial ground of that earlier church are located 200 yards to the west.
