Main Street A parade of unpretentious, mostly midlate 19th-century houses bordering East Loch Tarbert, skewed along the waterfront towards the late 20th-century paraphanalia of Caledonian Macbrayne's ferry dock. Amidst this, the M-roofed tin and timber Tarbert Stores, late 19th century, is a colourful survivor formerly associated with the fishing industry. Church of Scotland, 1862 Built as the Free Church to replace a former missionary church, a simplified version of the format adopted by the Parliamentary parish churches of c.1829. T-plan galleried interior, segmental-arched windows and gable belfry. The Manse, c.1862, but old fashioned for its date, is still the house of the village, with a broadgabled, Georgian-style front presiding over the harbour entrance from its own grounds.
