Day 10 – Travels along Loch Awe; St. Conan’s Kirk
Leaving Kilchurn Castle, Redshanks told me our next stop would be St. Conan’s Kirk on the other side of Loch Awe. From the castle we could see the vicinity of the Kirk. In the winter with no leaves on the trees I sure it could be seen.
Chris commented the church was built by Mrs. Campbell’s son Walter who was acting on his mother’s comment it was getting more difficult in her later years making her trip to church in Dalmally on Sundays. So the son would provide her a church near her home.
My thought that was a kind and thoughtful gesture didn’t prepare me for what I was about to see. Click here to learn about St. Conan’s Kirk.
Just before the road to the Kirk stands this Memorial.
