Description
Scotland, Argyll
My favorite church, I always visit when I am in scotland.
St Conan's Kirk is located in Loch Awe, Argyll and Bute.
It was established as a chapel of ease by the Campbells of Innis Chonan.
It was designed by the self-made architect Walter Douglas Campbell and built in 1881 with renovation in 1906.
The heavy oak beams in the cloister are believed to have come from the recently broken up wooden battleships, HMS Caledonia and HMS Duke of Wellington.
An eccentric blend of church styles from ancient Roman to Norman and built of local stone.
Wish you all a relaxed sunday! ;o)))
