history |
Strath, a parish in the Isle of Skye, was known of old as Strathswordale and prior the reformation there existed chapels within the parish at Ashig, Kilbride and Kilmorie. Ministry of the session is recorded from 1627 in the person of Neil McKinnon. In 1841 a new parish church of Strath was erected at Broadford. In 1929, when the Church of Scotland and the United Free Church were joined together, the Parish Church and the former United Free Church congregation of Strath were united, and in 1983 a further union was established with the parish of Sleat under the name of Strath and Sleat. The kirk session sat within the Presbytery of Skye until the restructuring of the presbyteries in 1976 when it became part of the Presbytery of Lochcarron-Skye. |
