Church Overview

Simple but picturesque Gothic church by Alexander Ross 1912-13. The church porch was an addition to the original building in 1969. The font and the church bell came from St Mary’s Church at Highfield (near Dingwall), when it closed in 1966, and the organ came from St Paul’s Church, Strathnairn. Stained glass triple lancet east window by Percy Bacon. Of special note are the 70 tapestry kneelers with Highland themes created by 14 members of the congregation between 1981 and 1993. The dedication to St Finnbarr goes back to the 6th century when St Finnbarr established a monastic settlement in Dornoch.
