Welcome to the home of Croick Church on the web.

About Croick Church and its history.

CROICK CHURCH lies some 10 miles up STRATHCARRON to the west of the village of ARDGAY in the county of SUTHERLAND.  It was built in 1827 on land donated by the Rosses of Balnagown and to the design of Thomas Telford, and formed part of a church extension programme initiated and financed by the Westminster Parliament.   Previously there had been a Preaching Station in its locality and there are the remains of a Pictish broch within its glebe.

The Church and its minister figured prominently in the Clearance of Glencalvie in 1845, a tragic event that is recorded in messages scratched on its east window.  But today they play a happier role in continuing to provide a Christian witness in this remote Highland strath.

To those able to travel to it we extend a warm welcome to join with us at the service held in the Church during the summer months.  The Church itself is open throughout the year and annually attracts between two and three thousand visitors.
