EDDRACHILLIS, a '''parish''', in the county of Sutherland, 15 miles (N. N. W.) from Assynt; including the islands of Handa and Scourie, and the late quoad sacra district of Keanlochbervie. The Celtic name of this place, ''Eadarda-chaolas'', signifies "between two kyles or arms of the sea," and is descriptive of the situation of the main part of the parish between the kyle of Scow, which separates Eddrachillis from Assynt on the south, and the kyle of Laxford. The church is a plain edifice, built upwards of a century ago, and thoroughly repaired in the nineteenth century; it is a commodious edifice in very excellent condition, and contains 275 sittings. There is also a good church at Keanlochbervie, to which a quoad sacra district was annexed by act of parliament in the 5th of George IV. The members of the '''Free Church''' have a place of worship.<ref>Lewis, Samuel A., ''[http://www.british-history.ac.uk/report.aspx?compid=43436#s27 A Topographical Dictionary of Scotland]'' (1846), pp. 499-514. Adapted. Date accessed: 7 August 2014.</ref> | EDDRACHILLIS, a '''parish''', in the county of Sutherland, 15 miles (N. N.
