Old Photograph Parish Church Kilfinan Scotland

Old photograph of the parish church in Kilfinan, Argyll, Scotland. This Scottish village and church have important links with the Clan Lamont and the Clan McEwen. The church has been a place of worship since 1235 and the foundations are from this date. The church was rebuilt in 1759. The church dates back to before the Reformation and houses the Lamont vault which contains an 11th century cross interred remains of the clan’s chiefs. It contains an 11th century cross inspired by the Iona Cross alongside burial stones and other fine pieces of early Christian stonework that date as far back as the ninth century. Although much altered, the church bears much of its original layout with its low ceilings and long and narrow aisle.
