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.
Tranquil, Historical, and well worth a visit A lot of time and commitment has been offered to maintain and upgrade this beautiful old Church Donations are necessary to continue the work of a dedicated community

This site is closed for now. We’re working hard to gradually reopen the places you love while making sure the experience is safe for everyone. Visit the mighty stronghold of the ‘Kings of the Isles’ where Jacobite heroine Flora MacDonald was believed to have been held in prisoner. On an immense rock overlooking the Firth of Lorn near Oban stands the remains of one of the oldest stone castles in Scotland and the former stronghold of the MacDougalls. Built around 1220 by Duncan MacDougall, the son of Earl Somerled, known also as the ‘King of the Isles’, Dunstaffnage Castle was built at the height of the battle between Scotland and Norway for control of the Hebrides and was even once besieged by Robert the Bruce during the Wars of Independence.
This was an absolutely fantastic experience. Whether you have links Scottish heritage (Sumerled, Dougall, Donald, McDougall or Bruce) this is a truly fantastic place for a day out. The tour guide is an absolutely entertaining legend and I will definitely come again.
