Beautiful pink hues appeared above Holy Loch, Argyll, on a crisp winter's afternoon.

 

On the shore of the Holy Loch at Kilmun stands a nineteenth-century church. It stands on the site of a sequence of earlier churches, and an early carved stone on the site suggests that there was a church here perhaps as early as the sixth or seventh century. The dedication to St Munnu, otherwise known as Fintan, St Munn (Fintán of Taghmon), reflects devotion to an Irish saint who founded a church at Taghmon in Leinster. The remains of a 12th-century church are still visible at Kilmun. At the present site of Kilmun Church, a church building is recorded in the 13th century. By the 15th century, the significance of Kilmun as a local centre of Christianity was so great that the adjacent loch became known as the Holy Loch, and the powerful Clan Campbell adopted it as their spiritual home. From the 14th century, Dunoon Castle, a short distance away, was held by the Campbell family and in the 1440s Sir Duncan Campbell of Lochawe (later 1st Lord Campbell), the then chief of the clan, lived near Kilmun in a private residence named Strathechaig.

 

Printed on 265gsm ultra white base and stippled lustre paper. Please note that all images are representative and slight variations in prints may occur due to your screen calibration differing from mine slightly. Don't worry though, I do my utmost to ensure the prints are as good as possible before shipping.

 

Please note:

Any watermarks will not be printed.

Prints are delivered with a small white border around the print. This is intentional and serves a couple of useful purposes:

  • Framing Flexibility: It makes matting and framing easier without cropping the image.
  • Protection: It allows for easier and safer handling without touching the printed area.

If you'd prefer your prints without borders, please let me know using the text box next to the print size selection.
