Description
- Scotland, Loch Awe -
Because of the neverending rain I had to visit another church, a truely HIGHLIGHT of the area.
But there I was almost despaired about the raindrops on my lense and the many trees around, so it was nearly impossible to get a complete catch of this old building.
St Conan's Kirk overlooking Loch Awe was begun in 1881 and substantially altered and added to until 1930.
Walter Campbell, the architect and a local landowner, and his sister Helen, included on the exterior almost every style of church architecture and embellishment.
Most of the kirk is in a Norman or Romanesque style, including not only early and late types of this but other and totally different styles. (The interior I will show next days.)
St. Conan is the patron saint of Lorne and is reputed to have lived in Glenorchy.
