Recording Your Heritage Online

The former St. Mary's Church (RC), 1868, has been much altered since it closed in 1923 (it is now an office), but a rose-windowed gable still predominates. To the rear, its diminutive gothic school now serves as Lochaber Housing Association's offices. In front of the square, a facetted stone sculpture by Frances Pelly, c.1991, is carved with figures, symbols and scripted local references in Celtic Revival spirit.
