Beautifully done, Sylvia. The downloads are beautiful. Love the exterior and interior images of the church, especially #3, the long view of the interior, fabulous.

During our break in Scotland we went to visit this unique church which has almost every style of church architecture. The beginning of the Callander and Oban Railway in the late 1870’s opened up what had previously been the largely deserted north shore of Loch Awe. Lieutenant Walter Douglas Campbell who had purchased the island of Innis Chonain built a house for himself, his sister and mother. The nearest church was at Dalmally, a long journey for his elderly mother so he decided to build a church closer by and picked a site on the steep north shore of Loch Awe.
The original church was built between 1881 and 1886 and was first used for worship in 1930. Although it was a sufficient size Walter decided to create a much larger and nobler building. Designed in no singular style, he took ideas and designs from different places and periods. The result is an eclectic mix of various styles from the Norman and Romanesque periods.

Lovely series and informative narrative, Sylvia. They sure don't build churches like they used to, at least on this side of the pond.

I am always in awe over how these things get built in the first place. The time, the money, the labour. Add to them, the design as you mention; the thinking that goes into them. What beautiful stained glass!

A very beautiful set, Sylvia!
