Glenshiel Free Church
History— A catechist was appointed to the district of Kintail and Glenshiel in 1852. The following year a church was built in Kintail, conveniently placed for people in both parishes. In 1858 these districts were placed under the care of the minister of Lochalsh. Owing to considerable accessions to the congregation at Glenshiel, a church there became necessary in 1864. The charge was sanctioned in 1866 and a minister was settled in 1867. Membership:1868, 400; 1900, 14. Source:Annals of the Free Church of Scotland, 1843–1900, ed. Rev.
