Built in 1842, Kirkapol Church serves the eastern half of Tiree. It is almost square and resembles a typical non-conformist chapel in design. The masonry is local rubble with sandstone dressings and quoins of pink granite brought from the Ross of Mull.
The church contains a memorial to the Rev. Hector MacKinnon, a native of Tiree, who began his ministry here (1892-94) and later became so powerful a preacher he was called the ‘Spurgeon of the North’.
Nearby are the remains of a former parish church dating from the 14th century dedicated to St Columba and a smaller 13th century chapel, both probably built on the sites of earlier churches. The name Kirkapol derives from the Norse for Church Town.
