Torridon Open Air Church is a site of Christian worship in Ross-shire, Scotland, situated approximately one hundred metres south-east of Am Ploc. The monument represents an open-air place of assembly for Christian prayer and observance, characteristic of early medieval ecclesiastical practice in the Scottish Highlands where formal church buildings were not always constructed or maintained. Limited archaeological investigation has been undertaken at this location, and detailed chronological attribution remains uncertain, though such open-air churches are typically associated with early Christian settlement patterns in the region. The site is recorded within the Historic Environment Scotland INSPIRE database and forms part of the broader archaeological landscape documenting Christian practice in medieval Ross-shire.
