Description
St Peter's Roman Catholic Church in Daliburgh, South Uist, was built in 1868. It is a long rectangular church that originally included a presbytery under one roof, which was remodeled in 1907 when a separate two-storey, three-bay presbytery was added to the southeast.
The church is harled and features rusticated quoins and chamfered window margins, all of which are painted. The long west elevation has four tall, pointed windows with key-stoned arches and intersecting tracery. There is a porch with a modern belfry on the south gable, along with a circular window below that has been altered, and the original apex belfry. A vestry is located at the north end of the east wall.
Inside, the windows have hoodmoulds, and there is a gallery on the south wall with an arcaded open front supported by cast-iron columns. The ceiling features a double barrel-shaped vault that extends to the inserted chancel arch.
