Description
Boleskine Parish Church, built in 1777, is a simple rectangular church with a long south-facing principal elevation featuring six bays. The structure is made of grey granite rubble with tooled rubble dressings. There are doorways in each outer bay, which have double leaf plank doors and rectangular fanlights. In bays two and five, there are pairs of round-headed windows, with two plain square-headed windows in the center. The east and west gables have gallery windows, and there is a small later ground floor window in the east gable that lights the later Minister's room. The church has multi-pane glazing.
At the west gable, there is a birdcage bellcote with a moulded cornice topped by a ball finial, and a ball finial is also present at the apex of the east gable. The roof is slate with flat skews.
Inside, the church has a simple interior that was recast in the late 19th century. It features a wide panelled pulpit and Minister's desk, a gallery across the west end, and plain pews.
Surrounding the church is a roughly coped drystone walled square burial ground, which is enclosed by a pair of square tooled grey granite gate piers with plain caps.
