Full Description
NH06SW 4 0339 6288.
There was an old church, at Culinellan near Kinlochewe, of which no trace remains. The date of erection is uncertain but it is in Old Statistical Account as existing in 1792 and it is probably church referred to on Blaeu's map of 1662 as Heglis Loch Ewe.
The site of the church was probably near burial-ground (NH 06 SW 2) and some of older inhabitants believe church to have been near Tobar Mhoire, Well of the Virgin Mary.
