Made From Boulders In Scotland

St Conan's Kirk, Loch Awe, Scotland

This remarkable font features an Angel supporting a small boat atop a marble sphere. It is one of the many interesting features to be found in this Scottish Church.

This amazing church sits in a remote location overlooking Loch Awe. It was created by local craftsmen who rolled huge granite boulder down the local hills and fashioned then into building blocks which were then used to build the church. This has resulted in the different coloured stones. The exterior is beautiful and the interior of a similar standard though the damp Scottish air has had its affect on the walls which look green and damp in places.
