The Stornoway High Church is a place of worship of the The High Church of Scotland in Stornoway. The church celebrated its centenary in 2009. There is an English and Gaelic congregation in the church, the English congregation worships in the old church and the Gaelic congregation worships in the 'New Hall'.

Leaving the Church of Scotland

At a meeting on Tuesday 18 June 2013, 250 members of the congregation unanimously voted to leave the Church of Scotland over the way it handled the issue of gay clergy. As of 21 June 2013, the other Church of Scotland kirks in the Western Isles, Kinloch and Tarbert, are also considering their position.
