In 1630 Eddrachilles is mentioned as a parish but without a church. In 1728 the parish church was to be built.
Orig Paroch Scot 1855.
Dedicated to St Molrubha.

Eddrachilles: built about 1715, interior recast about 1875.

No services have been held in the church for about the last seven years. It is now administered by Scourie parish but the minister there knew nothing of the history or dedication, nor was he able to say if it would again be used as a church.
