The former parish church of St Columba in Bettyhill, where eviction notices were read to tenants from the pulpit in 1819 during the Strathnaver Clearances. Later it was where crofters and tenants gathered to give evidence to the Napier Commission which led to giving them security of tenure. Now very fittingly the building houses the Strathnaver Museum which tells the story of the Highland Clearances.
