A church has been present here since the fifth century, attributed to St. Ternan. Over the centuries, the church has remained a central point for the community. The current church, constructed in 1805, replaced an earlier one located on the same site. Built with solid stone walls and a pitched, slated roof, the property is now a Category B-listed building.

The church stands within 300 yards of the shore and was built at the beginning of the nineteenth century. It accommodates 654 persons with sittings. The church records contain a variety of documents which detail many aspects of the daily lives of all types of people throughout Scotland from the 16th century onwards.
