A Highland community has launched an appeal to preserve the last remains of a legendary ‘floating church’.
The crowdfunding appeal will help lift and conserve the anchor of the floating church of Loch Sunart, in Lochaber.
The floating church arose from the Disruption of 1843, when the Free Church split from the Church of Scotland. Refused permission to build a new church, Free Church worshippers in the parish of Strontian realised the landowners couldn’t stop them having a church on the loch.
