Lorne and Lowland Church

[Ship called Dignity]

This steeple keeps cropping up in so many photos of Campbeltown I thought I would post a close up I zoomed in tonight!

Any history out there...

Bobbie, that is the roof of the actual church, it has an ornamental indented ceiling which has given cause for the design of the roof.

Petewick, I may be wrong, but I think she means the building up in the foothills off in the distance to the right....above the pic of the church. It does look interesting. I was wondering about that myself.

[jane59]

Is it a building or rocks maybe.......sure someone will know or find out !

[Machrihanish]

If you zoom in it looks like someone has started Campbeltown's own Mt Rushmore the rock on the right looks like a face !!! I wonder who it was going to be
