St John's Cathedral, Anglican cathedral in Oban, Scotland
The cathedral stands on the northeast side of Oban Bay, combining Gothic and Romanesque architectural elements with a central tower supported by steel girders.
The first church structure began in 1846 when Oban was a small village, and the current building was consecrated in 1864 with dedication to St John the Divine.
The MacDougalls of Dunollie and Campbells of Dunstaffnage families maintain connections with the congregation since their ancestors initiated the cathedral's construction.
The cathedral opens daily from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM, offering Sunday Eucharist at 10:15 AM and Wednesday services at 11:00 AM throughout the year.
The structure remains partially complete since 1910, with only the sanctuary, chancel, one transept, and a single bay of the nave reaching completion due to funding limitations.
