Description
The Former Assynt Parish Church, built between 1741 and 1743, underwent significant alterations by William C Joass in 1900. This Church of Scotland building features a plain gabled rectangular plan with five bays, a small spire, and harled rubble walls.
The church has gabled dormer heads with bargeboards above segmental-arched windows on both the north (rear) and south (front) sides. At the center of the shouldered wallhead, there is a pink stone chimney stack. The entrance door, located on the outer right, is boarded with a glazed upper section featuring two panes. There are signs of a former window in the east gable.
At the east end, the spire has a square base and a bell-cast pyramidal slate roof topped with a cross finial. The spire includes timber small-pane glazing with two-pane top-hoppers. The roof is covered with graded grey slate and features a stone ridge, along with the aforementioned chimney stack.
The interior was largely refurbished in 1900 and includes a coomb ceiling, a boarded dado, and pine pews angled for the choir. The pulpit is octagonal, featuring a cornice, a panelled backboard, and flanking doors, and it may date back to the early 19th century.
