Inverchaolain Church is a former Church of Scotland church building in Inverchaolain, Argyll and Bute, Scotland. [1] Located on the eastern shores of Loch Striven, just north of Inverchaolain Burn, the church was built in 1912. [1] It is the fourth church on the site. There is a possibility that the second church, rumoured to be dedicated to Saint Bridget, was located about 200 metres (660 ft) northeast of the present structure. [1]
