Find a church

Take the foot ferry to Iona and step off onto one of Scotland’s most sacred sites.

Now famous as a location for the TV series 'Outlander'.

On entering the Cathedral all the awkwardness of the red brick exterior disappears and you find yourself in an inspiring church quite unlike any other you will have ever seen.

The 20th century Cathedral, a blend of Gothic and Romanesque, stands in a prominent position on the north east side of Oban Bay and its imposing tower looms over the Corran Esplanade.

References to the Holy Trinity in St Andrews can be traced back over 1,000 years and the oldest parts of the current building are the tower and some of the pillars, which date back to the church built here in 1412.

Perth Cathedral was the first to be built in Britain after the Reformation and stands on ground that originally formed part of the Blackfriars Monastery and is dedicated to St Ninian, the first name we know in the Christian history of Scotland.

St Fillan is an excellent example of a tin tabernacle.

St Athernase has a commanding hilltop position over the town and, thankfully, since its construction in the 12th century, waves of neglect and 'improvement' have not harmed its most distinctive Norman feature: the elaborate 12th century chancel and apse at the east end.

The cathedral, the facade of which is in the Victorian Gothic design, was built by the architect George Mathewson and opened on 7 August 1836.
