Who we are
The ancient Parish of Benbecula was united to South Uist (Kilpheatair) and Barra in, or before the sixteenth century.
The earliest church was most probably Teampull Chaluimchille (Columba's Temple) whose ruins still remain on the easterly outskirts of the village of Balivanich (Township of the Monk).
The church at Muir of Aird was built in 1707 and was superseded by a new building in Griminish, in the centre of Benbecula, in 1886.
In 1900 the congregation entered the union with the United Presbyterian Church, and thus became the Benbecula Congregation of the United Free Church.
In 1929 the United Free Church re-united with the Church of Scotland, whose local parish church was half a mile to the west along the Griminish road, at what is now known as 'Church Hill').
The re-united congregation chose to use the former Free Church and Manse, still in use to-day. The surplus church building and manse were sold: the former is now a unit of flats - the Church Hill Flats ; the latter a private dwelling.
The Free Church, built in 1886 became the main place of worship following the union of the two churches in 1929.
To-day, Benbecula Parish Church of Scotland endeavours to continue the Christian witness and service started in this island by members of Columba's community from Iona in the sixth and seventh centuries...

Remember the word that I said unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept my saying, they will keep yours also.
