Inverchaolain Church
Inverchaolain Church is a former Church of Scotland church building in Inverchaolain, Argyll and Bute, Scotland. Located on the eastern shores of Loch Striven, just north of Inverchaolain Burn, the church was built in 1912. It is the fourth church on the site, the previous one dating to 1812. (There is a possibility that the second church, rumoured to be dedicated to Saint Bridget, was located about  northeast of the present structure.) When the foundations of the previous church were dug in 1812, several dozen human skulls were uncovered, as well as a few bones of very large size. Argyll and Bute Council have listed a claymore stone, an ancient tombstone with a Gaelic inscription and a coping stone from the pre-Reformation church, as being in an around the property. The church closed in 1990. Graveyard
The graveyard contains burials and headstones from previous incarnations of the church. There were around 230 gravestones as of 2014, the earliest dating to 1732. References
