Church Overview

Built by local people in 1843 at the Disruption, Uyeasound Kirk is a smaller, and remarkably unaltered, version of Hillside Kirk at Baltasound. It was intended to seat 400. The plain glass windows have coloured borders. The interior is a remarkable survival of wooden pews and pulpit in a balustraded enclosure. An unusual skylight provides natural light to the pulpit.

Organ by Solway Organs.

Memorials to South Unst men killed in World Wars.
