UNITED FREE CHURCH - TOBERMORY (now Evangelical Church)

Built in 1910 of Ross of Mull granite.

Called St Mary's.

Later amalgamated with the Parish Church before being turned into a knitwear factory in 1953.

In 1964 bought back by the Free Church when they sold the larger 'Gallery' building.

Following the union of the majority of Free Churches with other splintered Presbyterian Churches in 1900 the United Free Church of Scotland was formed.  

The first services were held in a cottage near the Western Isles Hotel.   Money was then raised by holding a great Bazaar, and the church was built on the land of a former dwelling house in an imposing position on the harbour front, not far from the Free Church - now the Gallery.  The Church, was known as St Mary's, and was built of Ross of Mull granite.   J. MacDougall from Oban were the contractors and it was completed in 1910.

In 1929 the United Free Church was united with the Church of Scotland and thus became amalgamated with the Parish Church.   With numbers dwindling over the years the church became a knitwear factory in 1953 but in 1964 it was bought back by the Free Church when they sold the larger 'Gallery' building.

In 1994 it was finally taken over by the Evangelical Church once again because of falling numbers and was therefore no longer viable for the Free Church to keep open.

Services:  Sundays at 11am.
