Constructed around 1810, Eriboll Church is a historic kirk overlooking Loch Eriboll on the North Coast 500 route. Before GRAS’s involvement, the building was unused, in poor condition, and lacked vehicle access and utilities. GRAS was appointed to undertake a comprehensive upgrade and repair of the entire structure.
The church is once again available for occasional services, welcoming both local residents and visitors. Internally, the building has been sensitively enhanced through the discreet installation of new building services, the reinstatement of original plastered finishes, and the addition of two new windows in the nave to increase natural light.
Externally, a thorough programme of repairs has been carried out using traditional materials appropriate to the historic fabric. To support access while respecting the sensitive setting, a discreet new car park and landscaping were introduced, carefully designed to minimise visual and environmental impact.
