Description

Kilninver Kirk is a plain, oblong church built in 1793. It has a harled exterior and gabled roof, which was re-roofed with slates in 1891-1892. The church features a belfry and round-headed latticed windows, along with a pointed traceried west window. There is also a wooden porch, and a vestry was added to the building later on.

It experiences an average of 20 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 79% of listed buildings. Of these, 11 follow at least 1 mm of rain in the preceding 48 hours. Average temperatures at this location have risen by 0.2°C per decade since 1991.
