About

SCIO / Trust

The Eskdale Trust was founded by the late Lord and Lady Lovat in 1991 to care for the chapel.


But in 2016 a new restoration was required and the trustees decided to evolve the trust into an SCIO which would facilitate the fund raising efforts for this project.

  • The Rt. Rev. Hugh Gilbert OSB, Bishop of Aberdeen
  • Rev. Fr. Colin Davies

Donations

Eskadale St Mary’s Church is lovingly cared for day to day by the local parishioners and the Lovat family. Their support and assistance in the practical running and maintenance of the Church is appreciated by everyone who visits, whether as a tourist or for the Mass. St Mary’s parishioners come from Strathglass and Glen Urquhart communities such as Cannich, Struy, Erchless, Aigas, Kilmorack, Kiltarity, Kinerras, Culburnie and Hughton.

To keep up the process of restoration of the Church of St Mary’s, the Trustees are reliant on wider support. We believe the continued maintenance of St Mary’s Eskadale is important especially to all the far-flung members of Fraser and Chisholm Clans. Added to its historic interest and religious significance, St Mary’s Church at Eskadale has a value beyond our Highland Community — please, if you are able, we would be grateful to receive a donation to the Trust Fund.

St Mary’s Church Eskadale is in the R.C. Diocese of Aberdeen.
St Mary’s is a Registered Charity — No. SC005122.
