Balnakeil Church
Balnakeil Church is believed to have been built by Donald Mackay of Farr, a man who would later become Lord Reay, in 1619. It would originally have been a single rectangular block, aligned east-west. The north aisle was added in 1692. The gables were extensively rebuilt in the 1720s. The church was in use until 1814, when a new parish church was built on the south side of Durness. There may have been a church of some sort on this site since as early as the 7th century.
