The Church of Kilchrist, or Cill Chriosd, is a ruined former parish church of Strath. It was built around the 16th century on the site of an earlier medieval church and was used until 1840 when a new church was built in Broadford. The church is notable for its geological features, such as the Torrin Thrust, a fault zone that separates different types of rocks. The church also has a burial enclosure for the Mackinnons, a local clan, and a graveyard with many old headstones. The church is located on the B8083 road, near the village of Torrin, and offers scenic views of the surrounding landscape. It is a popular destination for walkers and hikers, as it is close to the clearance villages of Suisnish and Boreraig

An old war cemetery with a chapel. I haven't found any graves after 1946.
