Description
Inveraray Parish Church, built around 1800-1805 by Robert Mylne, is a Georgian-style building designed to accommodate separate Gaelic and English-speaking congregations under one roof, divided by a solid partition. The church features harled walls with dressed face-work and a gabled slate roof, with two segmental-headed windows on each side. Each end of the building has a pedimented facade, showcasing three Palladian windows above a Classical doorway that includes half-columns and an entablature, flanked by black segmental-headed windows. Slender columns and half-columns are positioned at each corner.
On the south facade, there is a bell that was re-cast in 1728 by Robert Maxwell of Edinburgh, presented by Archibald Campbell of Stonefield, and a clock is located on the north facade. The church originally had a central steeple, which was removed in 1941.
The interior of Glenaray Church was converted into a Church Hall in 1957. The interior of Inveraray Church features a gallery on three sides and was refurbished in 1898, showcasing a notable pulpit, canopy, pews, and font crafted by local artisans. It was redecorated between 1952 and 1953.
