Description
Ben Griam is a T-plan church built in 1826 by Thomas Telford, now a private dwelling. It is constructed of rubble with tooled ashlar dressings. The north (front) elevation features a central paired depressed arched window, flanked by smaller, similarly detailed windows. Large windows of a similar design are present in the east and west gables, and in the central wing at the rear (south). A central entrance is located in the rear wing. The windows are fitted with 6-pane glazing. The building has a concrete tiled roof, topped by a bellcote with stumpy finials at the west apex and a ball finial at the east. The site is enclosed by a coped drystone wall.
The design deviates slightly from Telford’s usual plan by incorporating a rear entrance and small bay windows on the north elevation, rather than the typical paired doors. Strathy was described as a "populous rural hamlet" in 1858. References to the building can be found in Telford's Atlas (1838) and the Imperial Gazetteer of Scotland (c. 1858). This is now a private house and is not open to the public.
