[Page] 19County of Nairn -- Parish of Cawdor
[Below entry for Church:]
The church, which is quite centrical, was built in the year 1619, in consequence of a vow,
made by the then laird of Cawdor, when overtaken by a storm at sea, that, should a Kind Providence
bring him safe to shore, his first business on reaching home would be to erect a church more convenient
for the parishioners than the one then in existence. It underwent a very extensive repair in 1830, when it was
considerably enlarged, and is seated for 638 persons.
New Statistical Account.
* Jougs - The Jougs formerly used as a kind of pillory are still to be
seen at the Church and are in a fair state of preservation:
they are fastened to the wall of the Church door, the
original position.
