Church Overview
Originally built for the local Free Church of Scotland congregation 1862-63, this neat little rectangular kirk transferred to the United Free Church in 1900 and then, in 1929, to the Church of Scotland following their union with the United Free denomination. South Uist was then split into two Church of Scotland parishes, centred on the churches in Daliburgh and Howmore.
The simple church and its two storey adjacent manse (completed in 1880) are both contained within a low boundary wall. The church has three bays and windows plus a single window in both gables, the main door and belfry are located in the south gable. Its interior houses a pulpit, with a panelled front and steps on either side, and a gallery to the south. The Communion Table incorporates war memorial commemorating local fallen.

Parish Services are at 11am on Sunday and alternate between Daliburgh and Howmore. Please check church noticeboards for further information.
