The Mission Church at Isleornsay was built by Messrs Forbes and Macleod of Stornoway,Isle of Lewis, Outer Hebrides. It was formally opened on Tuesday 27 August 1901. Isleornsay is a village lying off the main Armadale to Sleat road, it overlooks, but is not upon, the island of Ornsay. Emigration from the Highlands and Islands was endemic in the 19th century and the company that ran the Isleornsay store, MacDonald and Elder, acted as emigration agents from the early 1800s. In 1822 they advertised that they were able to to fit out transports for the conveyance of passengers from Inverness and the West Coast of the Scottish Highlands to the east coast of Canada. In the 1830s a programme of assisted passages to Australia from the Sleat peninsula was organised. The William Nicol sailed to Sydney from Isleornsay in July 1837 with 322 passengers including 70 families from Sleat. At the time it was reported that so many local people wished to emigrate that the ship could not accommodate all those who wanted to embark.
