St Brendan’s sits alongside the road close to the bridge over Skipness River. The church was designed by Bertram Vaughan Johnson ib 1896-7. It is a small country church with walls of local grey stone with red sandstone margins. The east gable is ornamented with a small Celtic cross. The lancet windows have leaded lights. The interior is simple with a open timber roof. One stained glass window with Celtic interlacing designed by R C Graham of Skipness and made by Powell & Co, 1897.
