'Let us build a house where love can dwell'

Welcome to Leswalt Parish Church, Wigtownshire

Leswalt Parish Church is Church of Scotland by denomination and situated in the village and Parish of Leswalt in Wigtownshire, south-west Scotland. The Church has a friendly and welcoming congregation, with members attending from  the village of Leswalt, the nearby town of Stranraer and beyond. 


Leswalt Parish Church is linked with the nearby Ervie-Kirkcolm Parish Church.

Since 2015 both churches have been under the Guardianship of the local Presbytery.  This means that we are under the guidance of our Interim Moderator Mrs. Gillian Lynn. 


In April 2024 our prayers were answered when Mrs. Marlane Cash agreed to become our Locum, succedding Rev. Clare Burl who retired from being our Locum in August 2023. Marlane has great experience in this role having most recently carried out her work in the nearby churches of  Stoneykirk and Portpatrick Parish churches.
