    The Altar was rather simple from the other parts of the sanctuary.

    What an amazing interior!
    Mael, is this church still used for worship or is it now used as a museum?

    Day 10 – Travels along Loch Awe; St. Conan’s Kirk – Bruce’s Chapel

    Another special area of the Kirk is the Bruce Chapel. There a crypt with the figure of Scotland’s King Robert the Bruce. The figure of Bruce in repose is carved wood with the hands and face of the Bruce made of alabaster.



    A relic of the Bruce’s body is encased in the crypt.


    At the Bruce’s feet there is a lion.

    Day 10 – Travels along Loch Awe; St. Conan’s Kirk – Rear of the church

    The rear of the church displayed a whole new personality of the Kirk.

    Chris in the doorway to the rear of the church.



    The rear of the Kirk compared to the front projected an entire different building.
