 Doors Open Day

St Paul's Church, Croachy, Strathnairn

There has been an Episcopalian congregation in the glen for hundreds of years. Part of the effect of the 1689 - 90 revolution in Scotland was that the Presbyterian Church of Scotland replaced the Episcopalian one, though an exception was in Strathnairn where an Episcopalian presence continued until 1726. A church building was eventually provided at Knocknancroishag and a new church, further up the glen, was built in 1817, when Duncan Mackenzie (Parson Duncan) began his long ministry.

The present Saint Paul’s, with some lovely stained glass windows, was built in 1868.

Building Date: 1868There will be a Gaelic Eucharist at 12noon led by the Very Rev Canon Dr Emsley Nimmo, Dean of the Diocese of Aberdeen & Orkney, with dual language service books and hymns in English, followed by refreshments in the hall.
