Description
1853 church with manse alongside (listed seperately) established
in great measure through the efforts of Iain Godha (John Morison), bard and evangelist. All harled; slate roofs.
CHURCH: unusual double-pile design with M-shaped roof. Flat-
lintelled single windows, sash and case, with horizontal glazing
pattern; 3-bay east entrance front with pointed Gothic openings,
doorway in shallow advanced gable, blind outer windows. Low gabled vestry outshot on west flank (ie behind pulpit); also modern lavatory addition. Inside, cast-iron columns support valley roof; v-lining to ceiling, dados and behind pulpit; plain timber panels to pulpit and to precentor's box. Iain Godha was a blacksmith to trade, and he is believed to have contributed to the building of the church, eg by provision of ironwork such as hinges in pulpit, etc.
