Comments
The Sheringa Methodist Church closed in 1962 and the building was demolished in 1973. A Cairn to mark the site was subsequently erected on 29/4/1975. The former church building had been opened on 20/6/1910, by the Rev A W Wellington (President of Conference). It had been built on land donated by Mr William Gunn of Lairg Station. More historical information/photographs of the former church/congregation are invited. Photographs uploaded 31/5/2024
