Description

Gigha Parish Church, dated 1923, is a plain Romanesque Revival building featuring a nave and chancel. It is constructed of rubble with gabled slate roofs and has round-headed windows. On the south side, there is a gabled porch, while the north side includes a gabled session room and vestry. The interior is plain, with the date '1923' displayed on the chancel arch. Notably, the church houses an octagonal font, which is the oldest in Argyll, originally from St. Catan's Chapel and relocated here in 1938.
