Eaglais ‘An Fiosaich and Taigh ’an Fiosaich was built by John Morrison Nicolson in 1905. John was a Baptist minister originally from Ness who had emigrated to America. When he returned with his American wife Nora Cushings, he built the church to have services for the locals who were at their shielings for the summer grazing of their cattle. Hymns would have rung out over this landscape, which was unusual at that time, as only psalms were sung in the nearby community. Crofters were also baptised in moorland lochs.
