For a closer look, see William Craig's earlier photograph: Image As suggested there, it is no longer a church; it was converted into four individual dwellings in 1986, losing a steeple in the process [see "North Clyde Estuary: An Illustrated Architectural Guide" (1991) by Frank A Walker and Fiona J Sinclair]. The church (Free Church of Scotland), at the foot of Image, was built in 1844, with additions in 1883. Near the right-hand edge of the photo, an original entrance can be seen, though it is now blocked. Shandon War Memorial used to be located in front of the church, but it has been relocated: Image
