The old ruin of the St Olaf's Church, (The Old Olnafirth Kirk), on the west shore of Olna Firth dates from ca. 1700.
Above an arched entrance on the north gable, there is an armorial panel bearing the arms of Thomas Gifford and Elizabeth Mitchell of Busta House, their initials, and the date of their marriage in 1714. Inside there are two Gifford graveslabs.
In the churchyard there is a walled and fenced burial place to the Adies of Voe.
