Statement of Interest

Church of Scotland built at Struy in 1839 by Chisholm of

Chisholm, the area being distant from Parish churches of

both Kiltarlity and Kilmorack. Church appears to have been

served by visiting Ministers until James Fraser appointed 1st

Minister in 1881 and parish erected in 1884. Church now

gutted (1884).
