The Revd J R A Chinnery-Haldane of Ballachulish provided regular Sunday services in Glencoe between 1879 and 1885. The church was built in 1880, then a rectory, school, and a teacher's house. In 1885 Glencoe was constituted a separate charge. The reredos is attractive, with the figures of St Columba, St Kentigern, St Ninian and St Margaret, two on either side of the crucifix with our lady and St John. The colourful west window is in memory of the first incumbent, R MacPherson, 1880-88. The font was erected in memory of Ellen Caroline MacPherson Burns-MacDonald of Glencoe by her children. The font cover is in memory of Alexander Stewart MacInnes, Rector 1889-1933 and Dean of Argyll & the Isles. There is also a stained glass window in his memory. He was a gaelic speaker & belonged to Ballachulish and was much loved as a local man. He is buried at St John's, as are a large number of former Bishops & Ministers. Gaelic was used at Sunday services until 1953 when the Rector, The Very Revd D MacInnes, became Bishop of Moray, Ross and Caithness. The old school has been refurbished as a community and church hall.
