Westray Parish Old Church is associated with St. Nectan, a 6th-century Irish monk and missionary linked to several holy sites in northern Scotland and Orkney. The church may have been a center for early Christian worship, and local tradition suggests that holy wells or springs in the area were used for healing rituals and baptism.
