The back of the Church of Scotland, a Category B listed building, on a gloomy day. The church is linked by these paired porches to the slope against which it is built, allowing private access to the laird's pews in the first floor gallery.




The front of the Church of Scotland. Architect James Boag, built 1767, remodelled 1830s.




The Free Church of Scotland, a Category C(S) listed building, prior to its recent facelift. Architects William Munro and Andrew Maitland. Built 1865.




The remains of the former Free Church, built by the sea in the 1840s in the extreme east of the parish in Jemimaville. It was abandoned when a more central site became available.




The remains of Kirkmichael Church from the east. It remained in use following the union of the two parishes in 1662 until a new church was built at Resolis in 1767. The church was partly reroofed in the 19th century for use as a mausoleum.




The remains of Kirkmichael Church and its burial ground from the west. The chapel, burial ground, graveyard dyke and gatepiers have various listed building/scheduled monument designations.




The remains of Cullicudden Church. A date stone above the door here indicates that at least this part of the church was built in 1609.




One of the medieval gravestones at Cullicudden. An ornate cross rises from a Calvary base. A sword, star and axe can also be seen.




The old Free Church Manse in Jemimaville, built in the 1840s, and a Category B listed building.
