Roman Catholic church of 1837 at Bornish, South Uist, remodelled in the 1950s, category B listed and open at all times
St Mary's is the Roman Catholic church at Bornish (Bòrnais) on the machair side of South Uist. It was built in 1837 by Rev John Chisholm as the original parish church for the south end of South Uist and Eriskay, and the priest's house was originally part of the same building.
The church was remodelled around 1955 by A R Conlon, who added a porch, Lady Chapel and sacristy and extended the interior. It is a category B listed building with a white harled exterior and a bellcote on the north gable. The church is open at all times, and Sunday Mass is served from Ardkenneth.
