Oratory at St Columba’s Church, Kilneuair

A fairly spontaneous decision to explore the ‘Muir of Leckan‘, the hills between Loch Awe and Loch Fyne.

Hidden in a bluebell-carpeted copse of trees is the old Church of St Columba at Kilneuair¹Canmore.org.uk. (2022). Kilneuair, St Columba’s Church And Churchyard | Canmore. [online] Available at: https://canmore.org.uk/site/22788/kilneuair-st-columbas-church-and-churchyard [Accessed 20 May 2022]..

Separate to the church is a square oratory, a private chapel, probably 18th century, although  it is described as a ‘folly’. The small triangular windows are very curious²Canmore.org.uk. (2022).
