St. Margaret's Church (RC), Reginald Fairlie, 1929. One of a distinctive group of buildings designed by Fairlie for Roman Catholic communities in the West Highlands, it replaced a chapel of 1826. Fairlie's trademarks are functional simplicity in a simple, unadorned gothic style. St. Margaret's appears less austere than some, with walls of beautifully pinned pink and grey granite and porch rising as a campanile; its scale and grouping with the presbytery, a late 19th century villa, lend it an intimacy absent in later works.
