Been there, did that but my shots have been discarded and were no where near as good as yours. If they were 1/2 as good I would have kept them but I was in a hurry to find a B&B for the night and I rushed through my little self guided tour and shoot. Really loved Scotland! Your shots of the stained glass are most impressive. I grew up in a church in DC that has stained glass and the feeling you get there in the sanctuary with all that beautiful light is so calming and spiritual. Thanks for sharing these Wonderfull images!

Beautiful shots. I don't think I could worship there because I couldn't manage the steps.

Thank you very much Jack, there is an entrance on the other side of the church at ground level so you would be fine.

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.
