St Colmac's Church, Bute (Ruin)
The ruined church of St Colmac's on the Isle of Bute dates from c.1835 probably built by Paterson of Largs perhaps to designs by the architect James Dempster.
The church was closed in 1980 and soon after its roof was removed. By 1996 it was described as derelict, empty and roofless.
Described by both HES and Canmore as in a plain Gothic style, to me the two-stage tower has something of the Classical about it.
