Lochbroom Free Church
History— The minister of Lochbroom, adhered to the Free Church but died shortly after the Disruption in 1843. The church and manse were built in the village of Ullapool. A church was erected in 1854 for the Coigach section of the congregation, and another at little Lochbroom. In 1893 a number seceded from the congregation to join the Free Presbyterians. A diminishing population made it difficult to maintain the strength of the congregation. Membership:1855, 422; 1900, 126. Source: Annals of the Free Church of Scotland, 1843–1900, ed. Rev.
