Church Overview

A Telford Parliamentary church built on the site in 1828 was replaced by the present Victorian Gothic building in 1897. The architect was John Robertson of Inverness and the contractor was local builder Donald Fletcher, who also built many of the larger houses and villas in Tobermory.

The interior is almost unchanged since it was built and has very little in the way of adornment, beyond the colourful rose window. Many of the items of church furniture were given as memorials, but one of the most notable is the lectern gifted to then minister the Rev John Menzies by the personnel of the local naval base located in Tobermory during World War Two to the Rev John Menzies.

A fine 4-manual Phoenix digital organ was installed and dedicated in December 2009 and a new accessible entrance to the church was completed in 2019.
