Ruined church in Bornesketaig
The church dates from 1810. It is shown intact on the 1903 OS map, but was documented as ruinous in 1961, so its demise was somewhere between those years.

The former parish church of Kilmuir
Built in 1810 to replace its predecessor in Kilmaluaig, this church had a seating capacity of 700. It sits on open moorland, exposed to "all the airts the wind can blow".
The building material was landed at nearby Camus Mor, and it is said this site was selected to save the expense and effort of cartage.
It is referred to as "the present church" by William Mackenzie in his 1930 book, "Iochdar-Trotternish".
