There has been a church on this site since around 1500. A major rebuilding took place in 1773, and again in 1886. In these reconstructions, parts of the earlier buildings were left, and incorporated into the new building. The tower is believed to be from the 15th Century.
Canmore has a number of photos, and architectural details.
The church website also provides some historical detail.
OPRs (Old Parish Registers) are available from 1632 (Births), 1634 (Marriages). Deaths are only recorded from 1632 - 37, 1697 - 1711, and 1751 -1764.
