Passing Places Around Scotland

Saint Conan’s Church, Lochawe Village, Argyll.

The area around Loch Awe offers the visitor many attractions.  I focus this week on St Conan’s Kirk, a real gem, located in the village of Lochawe.  The church is a truly unique, one off example, of an amateur architects vision of a church.  It’s free to visit and never busy. Almost every period of architectural design is included in the building. I can’t recommend a visit highly enough.

The whole area around Loch Awe from the fishing, the hill-walking and the various visitor attractions creates a must see part of any trip around Scotland.  I mention The Cruchan Visitor experience to the Hydro-Electric scheme as well as the Bonawe Iron Furnace at Taynuilt.

I also mention the week that was and discuss the plans for including guest contributions on the podcast in the weeks ahead.
