Castlebay, the former Church of Scotland. NF 6622 9843. © Tim Flitcroft (2013). Link. Our Lady, Star of the Sea (R.C.). Interior view. NF 6669 9826. Both © Tim Flitcroft (2013). Link. Grade B listed. Older O.S. maps also show a U.F. Church, at NF 6610 9833. It was built between 1880 and 1904,and seems to have gone out of use by the middle of the century. It's not apparent whether the cottage seen by Streetview in 2009 replaced the church, or was converted from it.
