Plockton Open Air Church

This little open air church is a bit of a suprising find with an interesting history: The open-air preaching place at Plockton, Wester Ross, was one of several set up in the north west Highlands following the Disruption of 1843, when the Church of Scotland split over the rights of parishioners – rather than landowners – to choose their ministers.The divide ultimately led to the creation of the Free Church of Scotland, but as land owners refused to give over property for the new church buildings, alternative homes were sought.
At Plockton, this lead to the building of an amphitheatre like church that was visited by hundreds during the services and it remained in use until the mid-1930s.
