Description

Holy Trinity Church in Dunoon was built in 1850 by John Henderson from Edinburgh and later extended to the west in 1896 by Alexander Ross from Inverness. This church is designed in the Gothic Revival style and features a chancel, nave, and west chapel, with a tower located at the southeast corner. The structure is made of rubble laid in courses and has slate roofs. It includes lancet windows, a square tower with a crenellated parapet, and a pyramidal roof. The west gable is topped by a belfry.

There are porches on the north and south sides, each with pointed-arch doorways. Inside, the nave has an open timber ceiling and white painted walls. A pointed arch separates the nave from the chancel, and there are three pointed arches leading from the nave to the west chapel, which features a stone front. The church also houses a bell cast by John Warner.
