St. Mary and St. Finnan church |
|
| Designed by Edward Welby Pugin, son of the better known Augustus Welby Pugin, designer of the House of Commons in London, the Church is open to visitors throughout the day. Of outstanding architectural merit, Fr. Donald MacDonald, uncle to Col. John A. MacDonald of Glenaladale, the last Laird to live in Glenfinnan House, built the Church. Inside the church there is a brass memorial plaque to Prince Charles Edward Stuart. Allegedly the only other church in the world to commemorate him is St. Peter's in Rome. The bell for the church is situated on the adjacent green due to funds having run out before a bell tower could be built. | |

It is also an ideal location
