Visit
The Kirk is located on the shore of Loch Awe in the village of Lochawe on the A85 between Tyndrum and Oban. The Kirk is open to visitors every day throughout the year, except when closed for special events (please check the Events calender).
The village of Lochawe has a railway station which is approximately 800metres from the Kirk. The bus stop for the Oban to Glasgow West Coast motors bus is opposite the Kirk. There is some parking in laybys on either side of the main road by the Kirk. Some additional parking may be found towards St Conan’s Road.

Suggested donation for 2019 is £3 per person, but please feel free to donate as you wish.

We are working on other languages. We ask that you return the leaflet to the cloister at the end of your visit.
