Inverchaolain Church is a former Church of Scotland church building in Inverchaolain, Cowal, Argyll and Bute, Scotland.[1] Located on the eastern shores of Loch Striven, just north of Inverchaolain Burn, the church was built in 1912.[1] It is the fourth church on the site. There is a possibility that the second church, rumoured to be dedicated to Saint Bridget, was located about northeast of the present structure.[1]
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.[1] 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.[1]
The church closed in 1990.[1]
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.[2]
