Kilmodan Church

Kilmodan Church is a Georgian T-plan church in Argyll and Bute, built with rendered walls and harled masonry. The building sits in an elevated position within Kilmodan parish on the Cowal peninsula.

The building was constructed in 1783 and incorporates stone tablets from an earlier structure, including one carved with the date 1610. These older stones show the site's ongoing importance to the community.

The churchyard holds a collection of medieval carved stones and a memorial to Reverend John Maclaurin, who served here in the late 1600s. These objects reflect the deep ties between the building and its community.

The building is surrounded by a well-maintained churchyard that is easy to explore on foot. Visitors should prepare for changing weather conditions typical of the Scottish Highlands.

In 1983, the building underwent a complete restoration exactly two centuries after its construction. This carefully planned renovation became one of the major conservation projects of that era.
