St Mary's Old Church is a ruin just outside Dunvegan, here on the Isle of Skye. The church was built in 1694 - the date is inscribed on a stone over the north door - to replace an older medieval church that served as the parish church for the Duirinish region of N. Skye.
The original building was a simple rectangle, but a burial aisle was added in 1839. A 1735 burial enclosure with fine Renaissance carving stands against the west gable.
