St. John's Episcopal Church, Oban, Argyleshire, 1864. Creator: Unknown
St. John's Episcopal Church, Oban, Argyleshire, 1864. 'View of the Episcopal Church or Chapel of St. John, recently erected for the accommodation of persons accustomed to the Anglican form of worship at Oban, in Argyleshire. This little town, which is situated at the head of a bay frequented in summer by the steamers bringing tourists to explore the West Highlands, has grown up, within the memory of this generation, from a mere hamlet of two or three poor cottages, to be a place of some resort as the chief port for passenger-traffic on that part of the Scottish coast. Its development has been fostered by the Duke of Argyll, the Marquis of Breadalbane, and Mr. Campbell, of Sonachan, who are the principal landowners in the district. As the facility of access from Oban to the picturesque scenery in its neighbourhood yearly attracts a larger concourse of English visitors, the building represented in our Illustration has been provided with a view to the taste and convenience of those sojourners who may not be disposed to attend the services of the Presbyterian Kirk. Its design is creditable to the architect, Mr. D. Thomson, of Glasgow'. From "Illustrated London News", 1864
