Ecclesiastical building in use as such. First application to
Lord Lovat by Free Church congregation for ground on
which to build church said to have been turned down. Circa
1845 he donated present site, on which it is said he had
intended to build RC church, but had eventually (1826) built
that at Eskadale, the situation at Kilarlity being too close
to Parish Church of Scotland and not welcomed by Established congregation. When donated 1845/6 the site was said to have
on it stone prepared for the RC church, which was utilised
for the present Free Church. (Information per present
Minister, 1984).
