The Presbytery of Lochaber has fifteen congregations within nine charges. It is centred on Fort William in the West Highlands of Scotland.

Web and email links have been placed, but if you want to communicate with us you can email the Presbytery Clerk at lochaber@cofscotland.org.uk. The Presbytery Clerk is the Rev David M. Anderson who is an Auxiliary Minister. The Clerk organises the affairs of Presbytery. David is also in charge of this web site. The Church of Scotland has 44 Presbyteries which are area groupings. The Presbytery has many legal functions, but it's main purpose is to co-ordinate and to encourage the work of the Church of Scotland in its local area.

Over £1830 was raised for the orphanage and street kids’ centre in Arusha, Tanzania. This was very much a community effort by the people of Duror, Glencoe & Ballachulish. All the churches in the area were involved and thanks go to all who manned the various stalls; served the tea & coffee; the individuals and companies who donated prizes and items for sale, and to those who came along and supported this deserving cause.  One of the organisers, Bill Strachan, a member of St Munda’s, said there was a great atmosphere in the hall. Everyone wanted to do something to make the morning a success – there was a great community spirit!  Bill recently visited the orphanage and can assure everyone that the money will be put to good use.
