Oban Free High Church, Rockfield Road, Oban

Oban Free High Church, built in 1846 by David Cousin, is a Gothic church located on Rockfield Road in Oban. The church features a nave with a single aisle to the north, creating an approximate T-plan. Access is through the side aisle from a vestibule at the base of the tower, which is situated in the northwest re-entrant angle. The exterior is constructed of green-grey squared rubble with ashlar dressings, and the openings have chamfered arrises and hoodmoulds on the west elevation and tower.

The tower consists of three stages topped with a grey slated pyramidal roof. Each face of the upper stage has a 13th-century style window with two lights, nook-shafts, colonnettes with moulded bases, and hood-moulds above.

The west entrance elevation features a pointed arch entrance door with a hood-mould. The nave is five bays long, with lancet windows and battered saw-tooth coping buttresses between. The west and east walls have stepped three-light lancet windows beneath hood-moulds with foliate stops. A pointed arch window with a curved cill and hood-mould is located in the west gable.

The north and south elevations have regularly spaced lancets, all featuring original proprietary leaded diamond-pane glazing. The roofs of the tower, nave, and aisle are grey slated.

Inside, the church has raked pitch pine pews with umbrella stands. The Gothic style pulpit, also from 1846, is made of timber and partly recessed into a window embrasure, featuring a two-faced canopy and a clock installed in 1861. There is a marble war memorial font from 1948 and a war memorial in the vestibule. The interior boasts an open-work timber M-roof of five bays, with large arch-braces supporting collar beams, king posts, and curved struts. Round-headed arches supported by octagonal columns with perpendicular style capitals separate the nave from the aisle, with octagonal corbels at the walls. A bell in the tower was made by John Wilson of Glasgow in 1860.
