Description

Loudoun Kirk is a building that was fitted up in the 17th century as a burial vault. It was restored in 1898 by the 3rd Marquis of Bute, and the chancel arch is still visible. The western gable remains nearly intact, but the side walls have been completely demolished.

It experiences an average of 40 freeze-thaw cycles a year, more than 77% of listed buildings. Of these, 22 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.
