St Clement's Church was built in the 16th century for the Chiefs of the Harris branch of the Clan MacLeod. It was a Catholic church and was dedicated to Pope Clement I. It fell into disuse after the Reformation, although the MacLeods continued to use the churchyard as a burial site. The church was restored in the late 19th and early 20th century and is in the care of Historic Scotland.
