Chapel, Glenlochar

The Chapel at Glenlochar, built around 1840, is a small Gothic structure located a quarter mile west of Glenlochar Bridge, within a rubble-walled enclosure that serves as the burial place of Admiral Gordon.

The chapel features a buttressed gabled design divided into two sections: a wider two-bay nave to the west and a narrower chancel to the east, which is supported by three pairs of sandstone buttresses. The nave has rubble walling with rock-faced granite buttresses on the chancel, and polished sandstone dressings throughout.

The western entrance has a pointed arch portal with nook shafts, a delicate cable hood-mould, and carved stops, topped by a quatrefoil panel. The chapel's windows are bipartite and trefoil-headed with opaque glass, while the granite chancel has a single pointed arch window on each side. The chancel is capped with a deep plain parapet and both sections of the chapel have steeply-pitched slate roofs, adorned with sandstone skews and skewputts.

Inside, the chapel is empty, featuring timber strip panelling for the wainscot and a pointed chancel arch. The surrounding rubble-walled enclosure is partly damaged and has granite coping, with a pointed-arch gateway that includes a timber door.
