Description

Lochgilphead Parish Church was built in 1885 and designed by architect Nell Gillies in the Gothic Revival style, specifically Early English. The church has an oblong plan with lean-to structures on the east and west sides, and a steeple located at the southwest corner. It is constructed of coursed rubble and features a slate roof. The interior has been recently redecorated, and it includes stained glass windows made by Powell.
