Innis Chonan or Innischonan is an island in Loch Awe, Scotland.
Walter Douglas Campbell, great-grandfather of the Duke of Argyll built a large house on Innis Chonan and St Conan's Tower in Lochawe as a winter home for the family.[3] Walter was a self-made architect and delighted in building unusual properties, including St Conan’s Kirk, which is on the mainland nearby, an eccentric blend of church styles.[4]
