Everything about Kilarrow Parish Church totally explained
Kilarrow Church is a
Church of Scotland parish church, overlooking and serving
Bowmore on the Isle of
Islay.
The "Round Church"—as it's often known—was built in
1767. It has a highly unusual circular design, more reminiscent of some churches built in the 1960s. It has been suggested that the circular design was intended to ensure that there were no corners in which the devil could hide. The roof is supported by a single massive central pillar.
The Church also contains some artifacts belonging to the Bowmore-born Rev
Donald Caskie (
1902-
1983), former minister of
The Scots Kirk, Paris and famous as the "
Tartan Pimpernel" for aiding over 2,000 Allied servicemen in their escape from occupied
France.
The linked parishes of Kilarrow and Kilmeny are vacant following a reallocation of Ministers.
