Old Photograph Kilmaveonaig Scotland

Old photograph of Kilmaveonaig Church, Blair Atholl by Blair Castle, Perthshire, Scotland. An Episcopal chapel rebuilt in 1794 by John Stewart on the site of the old parish church of Kilmaveonaig built in 1591. Here St Adamnan preached in the 7th century. Before 1275 it was a parish church and in 1591 it was rebuilt by Roberton of Lude. For some years after 1688, the four parish churches of Blair Atholl, Stroan, Lude and Kilmaeveonaig continued to be used, the Episcopal service being held in the latter two, then about 1700 the four parishes were combined into Blair Atholl and Stroan, and Kilmaveonaig came into the possession of the Espiscopalian Laird of Lude. It was rebuilt in 1794, restored between 1866-71 and again with an enlargement in 1899.
