Old travel Blog photograph of the parish church in Crianlarich, Highlands, Scotland. Charming church in a prominent site in the vilage of Crianlarich. Designed by Thomas Ross, 1901. White harled walls with red sandstone buttresses and door and window surrounds and a slate roof with overhanging eaves. The entrance porch is at an angle between the nave and vestry. Crianlarich has been a major crossroads for north and west bound journeys in the Highlands of Scotland since mediaeval times. In the 1750s, two military roads met in the village; in the 19th century, it became a railway junction on what is now the West Highland Line; in the 20th century it became the meeting point of the major A82 and A85 roads. As such, it is designated a primary destination in Scotland, signposted from as far as Glasgow and Paisley in the south, Perth, Perthshire, in the east, Oban in the west and Fort William in the north.
