Background
History
Dalavich, originates from the Gaelic meaning "meadows near the River Avich". This small but handsome church, situated in idyllic surroundings near the shores of Loch Awe, was built in 1770 on the site of a much earlier church of rubble stone and is a category C(s) building. Built in traditional style, small and oblong, the church is embellished by round headed windows and is enclosed by a burial ground. A small bell tower was added to celebrate the millennium. It contains a stained glass window commemorating the life of local schoolmaster, Mr. Macpherson who lived across the loch at Ardchonnel.
