history |
A church was first planted at Kilcholumkill in Duror by St Columba during the 6th century and in around the year 1650 the Commissioners of Teinds disjoined the district of Duror from Lismore and erected it as a separate parish, a new church was also erected at this time. The subsequent passing of the Act Rescissory in 1661 however led to the annulment of the erection of the new parish and Duror was united once more with Lismore. Duror remained within the parish of Lismore for almost a further 200 years until 1846 when it was again disjoined, quoad sacra, from Lismore. The present day church, a parliamentary chapel, had been erected some time earlier in 1826. In 1960 Duror formed a link with the charge of Glencoe St Munda's. The kirk session sat within the Presbytery of Lorn until 1963 when, by Act of Assembly, the Presbytery of Lorn and the Presbytery of Mull were united together under the name of the Presbytery of Lorn and Mull. Following the restructuring of the Presbyteries in 1976 it became part of the Presbytery of Lochaber. |
