Arrochar Parish Church

The parish covers a large area that includes the villages of Arrochar and Luss. The present church was built in 1847 but by 1998 had fallen into disrepair and was declared too dangerous to enter. However the community raised funds for its restoration and local tradesmen gave their time and skills willingly to accomplish this. In September 1999 the church was reopened. http://www.threevillages.org.uk/community/arrochar-parish-church/ It is Category B listed http://portal.historicenvironment.scot/designation/LB826 For much fuller history see http://www.arrocharheritage.com/Arrochar%20Parish%20History.htm (Arrochar Heritage).
