St Blane's Chapel

Reviewed By 739lornac - Stirling, United Kingdom

Beautiful scenery from the top, really breathtaking, well worth the short climb up the hill, parking at the bottom of the hill is limited. The ruins are very interesting.

St Conan's Kirk

St Conan's Kirk is a beautiful and facinating Kirk in Argyle. It was designed and built by Walter Campbell to save his mother travelling six miles to the nearest church! A self-taught designer, Walter designed it to contain most architectural styles and visitors find something new to see every visit. It is open most days from 9 to 5pm and entry is by donation. Highlights include the Cloisters, the stunning Ambulatory and the Bruce Chapel which contains a fragment of Robert the Bruce's bone. Your donation is used for the program of repairs. More information about special events is on the website.

St John's Cathedral

Reviewed By Omhappy - Los Angeles, United States

I went to Iona to see the place where Columba had the monks create the beautiful masterpiece The Book of Kells. we were staying in Oban so the next day I walked into this church and there I discovered more history involving Columba. I am first generation American and all of my heritage is from the UK and Ireland so the appeal to learn more about my ancestors brings me to this part of the world often. I love to go inside and imagine what life was like throughout the centuries in these historical buildings...
