Old photograph of Kilarow Parish Church in Bowmore, Islay, Scotland. This 18th century church, known as The Round Church, was built by Daniel Campbell of Shawfield and Islay in 1767 at a cost of £1000. Bowmore is a planned village for those of the village of Kilarrow who were not directly involved in the work of Islay Estate, mainly agricultural workers and weavers. The unusual design of the church makes it the only complete circular church in Scotland. Islay is the fifth largest Scottish island and the seventh-largest island surrounding Great Britain.
