Background
History
The parish church of Torosay, which is in Craignure, dates from 1783. Its style is plain Georgian oblong. It underwent repairs in 1828 and again in 1832, when it was struck by lightning. In the 19th century, churches were built by the government at Kinlochspelvie and Salen, resulting in separate quoad sacra (church only) parishes; but the former is now reunited with Torosay, while the latter still exists .
