Description
Former United Free church, presumably built early 1900s (the UF Church was formed by the union of the Free and United Presbyterian Churches in 1900), and disused since 1987 (Campbell 2000, appendix No 12).
Standard pattern prefabricated timber-framed and corrugated-iron clad church made by Spiers & Co. Glasgow (whose nameplate it bears), one of a number transported in the later part of the 19th - early 20th century to places throughout much of the Highlands, but few of which survive more-or-less intact.
Rectangular-plan building set on a masonry plinth, (southeast-facing) entrance gable to the road, its site and that of the adjacent manse are bounded to the roadside by harled rubble walls with rough-dressed curved coping stones; circular and domed gatepiers also harled. Standard features include vestry wing projecting at northeast corner, timber belt course, door and window bands and gablehead detailing; windows shallow-arched externally with top hoppers, 3-light and set high up, polygonal gable-head window above pulpit, axial ventilator. A porch, presumably the minister's entrance, for it faces the manse, abuts the vestry. The 2-leaf main door has decorative hinges. Cream painted cladding, timber painted green. Interior v-lined and largely stripped of original church furnishings (2004).
