Caring for the Church

The church is in the charge of the Historic Churches Scotland and was the inspiration behind the setting up of the Trust in 1996.  The SRCT preserves places of worship of outstanding national importance which are no longer used for religious purposes, and safeguards them for current and future generations.

Funding success followed in 2007 when the Heritage Lottery Fund awarded a major grant towards the £1.3 million project. Historic Scotland and The Highland Council were also major funders.

The support of the people of Cromarty during our Restoration Village bid was fantastic and we are looking forward to working with the community again as the Church undergoes major conservation and repair work.
