Description
Dunlichity Parish Church of Scotland is a church built in 1759, with repairs made in 1826 and subsequent internal recasting and refitting. It is a simple rectangular structure situated on a site that slopes to the east, oriented east-west. At the east gable, there is a rubble burial enclosure, likely outlining and possibly part of a former ecclesiastical building. The exterior is harled with ashlar dressings, although some chamfered ashlar margins are concealed by the harl. The long south elevation features four regular square windows, with an additional similar window inserted at the extreme southeast to light the Minister's room. The west gable has a pair of round-headed windows with leaded-pane glazing. The entrance and a single window, which may have been a former door, are located in the outer bays of the rear (north) elevation, featuring 9-pane glazing. The church has flat skews and a corniced end stack at the west gable, which is blocked and supports a small cross, along with a slate roof.
The interior has been refitted and recast towards the east. The burial enclosure at the east gable consists of simple coped rubble walls adorned with various mural plaques dedicated to the Shaw family of Tordarroch. There is also a watch-house, an early 19th-century, small single-bay, single-storey building with raised rectangular harl-pointed walls and ashlar dressings. This building is situated on a sloping site with an entrance from the road at the southeast front, featuring a central rear window and a single window in the northeast return gable, along with a diminutive raised basement light. It has flat skews, an end coped stack, and a slate roof.
Additionally, the McGilleveray burial enclosure is a square, high coped rubble-walled structure with a central entrance on the east front, faced with tooled rubble and featuring ashlar piers that rise from the upper part, projecting above the wallhead and terminating with corniced, stepped pyramidal caps and urn finials. This enclosure contains various mural memorials. The burial ground is enclosed by rubble walls and has an irregular site that abuts both the watch-house and the McGilleveray enclosure. It is located on a sloping site and is filled with closely packed tombstones, some dating from the 17th and 18th centuries.
