Hillswick Kirk in Hillswick, Northmavine, was built in 1733.
"A Topographical Dictionary of Scotland" by Samuel Lewis, from 1846, says about the kirk : The church is a plain building, situated inconveniently for the population, at no great distance from the sea, and accommodates 583 persons with sittings, of which seventy are appropriated to the poor; it was built in 1733, repaired in 1764, and renovated in the interior in 1822.
