Dunoon High Kirk, Gothic revival church in Dunoon, Scotland
The stone building features a prominent tower with a clock on each of its four sides and contains detailed stained glass windows throughout its structure.
Built in 1816 by architect James Gillespie Graham, the church stands near the location of a 15th-century parish church that served as the Cathedral for Argyll bishops.
The graveyard holds memorials dating to the 13th century, including the final resting places of several bishops who influenced Scottish religious development.
The church building received its Category B listed status on July 20, 1971, requiring special permissions for any modifications to preserve its historical elements.
The tower underwent an eight-foot elevation in 1839, incorporating a clock donated by William Campbell that remains visible from all four directions.
