Scope and Content St Mary's Roman Catholic Church, Arisaig, Highland, from the north-west St Mary's Roman Catholic Church, a tall Gothic-style church, completed in 1849 to designs by the architect, William Burn, rises from the hillside at the east end of Arisaig, a small village on the west coast of the Lochaber peninsula. The Victorian photographer, Erskine Beveridge, photographed the church in 1883. The church, rubble-built with ashlar dressings, has four-bayed flanks, and a three-storeyed square tower projecting from the west gable. At the foot of the tower is a pointed-headed entrance door, and a large pointed-headed window lights the first floor. In the graveyard to the south are the roofless remains (right) of a 16th-century church dedicated to the Celtic saint, St Maelrubha. The tower of the church is a local landmark. On its south face is a clock, erected in memory of Alasdair mac Mhaigstir Alasdair, a Jacobite and one of the greatest of all the 18th-century Scottish Gaelic poets, who is buried in the churchyard.
