Resting on the bank of Loch Awe this is truly a hidden gem and well worth a visit. Amazing, mixed style of architecture and stunningly beautiful interior. Linger and soak Up the calming atmosphere, you might even be lucky enough to be visited by the black cat 🧡 our visit exceeded expectations!

Oh My what a gem. One to go and visit absolutely stunning. The inside is beautiful with lots to look at, then the views from the outside are breath taking. Entrance is by donation, I would suggest if you are every around here then go and see you will not be disappointed.

St Conan's Kirk in 2016 the Royal Incorporation of Architects in Scotland public poll voted it one of the top ten buildings of the last 100 years, and it easy to see why. This chapel is stunning. Our group spent an hour there walking around. You don't need a ticket, it's done with a donation box, and the only downside is there is very little parking. I would suggest getting there when it first opens. Walter Campbell himself, along with his sister are buried in a family vault beneath the chapel. Do check their website to make sure they will be open for your visit. Weddings are very popular here. Highly recommend a stop.

You can visit this church at no charge, but you will feel compelled to make a donation. Yo7 should, in support of the amazing work the local historical society has undertaken. There is even a tea house on the site now (check operating hours before you go). Give yourself an hour or so, to take in the history, get some photos, explore the nooks and crannies. Keep an eye out for the gothic features, gargoyles and stonework. From the back lawn more amazing views of Lake Awe and, down the way, Kilchum Castle. You’ll need a car to get to these spots off the beaten path, east of Pitlochry on the A85.

If Christianity had existed in the fictional lands of Middle Earth or Westeros, St Conan's Kirk would have fitted right in with the grand and elaborate architectural designs imagined by their creators. This is not simply another lovely old medieval church (in fact it is not truly medieval at all). No, this is a unique feat of imagination, highly decorated, inside and out, with fanciful architectural flourishes, statues, tombs and towers. The level of detail is astonishing, keeping the visitor well occupied finding all the little quirks and whimsies. The setting, high on on the banks of a beautiful loch is the icing on the cake. Talking of cake, although we didn't try it, there is a small tea room attached to the kirk.

Beautiful historical chapel beside Loch Awe. Only street parking on the main road with limited space. But you do need to stop and take a look inside. Donation to get inside is requested. Nice architectural work inside.

This is an absolutely stunning building and not to be missed. There is parking for 3 cars beside the kirk and two large laybys up on the road for parking. There is also a cute little tea shop. Stunning views across the Loch too. Visiting is by donation.

I’d driven past this church many times before eventually finding an opportunity to enter. During the day there always seems to be a lot of cars parked in the immediate area, I now know why. It’s a very interesting take on ecclesiastical architecture and has a background worth reading about. There’s also the Robert the Bruce connection which adds to the attraction. Definitely worth stopping and taking the time to wander round.
