Snizort Free Church
History— The minister of Snizort, and almost all his congregation, came out in 1843. Besides the church he had two regular meeting places, one twelve miles distant, the other eight miles distant. For some years the congregation worshipped in the open air. A church and manse and schoolhouse were built at Snizort; and a church at Uig, at the other end of the parish. All were completed in 1847. With the exception of two or three families, all the people were crofters. Membership: 1855, 1200; 1900, 80. Source: Annals of the Free Church of Scotland, 1943–1900, ed. Rev.
