KIllearnan Parish Church
In addition, a silver groat from the reign of Edward III (1351-77) was found in builder's spoil close to the church. The old church bell dates back to the reign of Charles II (1660-85).
The site is not far from the ruins of Redcastle, (originally Ederdour) erected by William the Lion in the 12th century. There was once a chapel dedicated to St Andrew at or near Redcastle and
it may be that Killearnan Parish Church sits on that site. One of the Killearnan's most popular ministers was the Reverend John Kennedy. He came
across from Assynt in 1813 to take up the charge in Killearnan Parish. A caring and devoted preacher, Reverend Kennedy won the hearts of the parishioners and during the annual August
Communion season, thousands of worshippers gathered for the services. Of course, the church could not hold such numbers and a nearby quarry was chosen for the congregation. At that
time the services were held alternately in Gaelic and English. The Reverend Kennedy died in 1841 and his tomb can be seen in the churchyard. 
This church was rebuilt after 1800 but it includes parts of a much earlier building dating from medieval times. The blocked arched doorway in the south
wall and a recumbent medieval effigy inside the church suggest a medieval structure. There is also a 14th-century Calvary cross with ornamental head immediately to the south of the church.
