Next month’s open day at St Conan’s Kirk is giving people the chance to find out more about the historic building’s vision and plans for the next five years – and how they can get involved. The kirk on the shore of Loch Awe is one of only 12 UK buildings to be included in the latest round of National Lottery Heritage funding. The open day on Saturday November 4, from 10am until 4pm, will give visitors and residents from the area an opportunity to not only explore St Conan’s history and heritage through interactive tours, displays and talks but also to become part of its blueprint for the future. Vice chairman of Friends of St Conan’s, Peter Hennessy, said: “Our community-led vision is to secure the future of this inspiring building by increasing its accessibility to all sections of the community, young and old. “St Conan’s Kirk is one of the finest church buildings in the UK.
