Description
The Parish Church in Howmore, South Uist, was designed by Archibald Scott of Edinburgh in 1837 and built in the 1840s. It is a plain, three-bay, rectangular-plan church with a former vestry located at the west end of the north wall and a modern hall adjoining it. The exterior is harled, featuring round-headed openings, a door, and a gallery window in the east gable beneath a gabled apex belfry. The church has tall windows with Y-tracery in each bay, straight skews, and gabletted skewputts, topped with a slate roof.
Inside, there is a long central communion table that runs the full length of the church and has a marbled top. The pulpit is positioned on the west wall and has steps on either side, while the gallery at the east is supported by two simple columns.
The church is enclosed by rubble-built walls that partly enclose the Dr MacLean monument at the north end, which is dated 1861, designed in Gothic style, and made of white marble.
