Canisbay Parish Church

The porch was added in 1891, when the other extensions and work was completed to the church building.

The church was rebuilt in the 17th century, and ancient remains were discovered after a wall collapsed in the cemetery.

Jan De Groot, the man who founded John o' Groats, is buried in Canisbay cemetery; his tombstone sits in the church building and is a popular tourist attraction when the building is open for visitors every summer.

Between 1959 and 2001 Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother was a regular worshipper at the church during her periods of residence, usually in late summer each year, at the nearby Castle of Mey, which she owned.
