OS 6"map, Inverness-shire, 2nd ed., (1907)

The date of erection of Boleskine church cannot be ascertained, but it was destroyed c. 1777, in which year the present church, at Druim an Teampuill, was built. The graveyard in which the old church stood was being used for interments in 1870's (Name Book 1871) The church is marked 'in ruins' on Taylor & Skinners' map (G Talyor and A Skinner 1776).

There is no trace of the church. The burial ground has been enlarged and is still in use.
