Details Former parish church now in residential use, built 1793, set in an oval churchyard. It replaced an earlier building (NJ34NW0002) after a portion of the parish of Dundurcas was added to Boharm and it was agreed to re-site the parish church in the centre of the new enlarged parish. The church is on a simple rectangular plan, with a later gabled centre 2-bay projection in the long 4-bay south front. Built of harled rubble with tooled granite dressings and (later) tooled sandstone margins, and slate roofs. There are two windows in the north elevation and single smaller gallery windows in each gable. All fenestration is round headed with radial and multi-pane glazing. Porches and ministers room were added 1828 by William Robertson. The west gable has a ball finial bellcote. The church closed for worship circa 1974, and following a period of use as a store was converted into a house. The pews and pulpit were reused in Portree, Skye.
