St Bride's Church, Onich
St Bride's Church (alternatively, Saint Brigid of Kildare Church) is an Episcopal parish church in North Ballachulish in the Scottish Highlands. The listed structure was built in 1874 to a design by the Edinburgh architect J. Garden Brown.[1][2] Adjacent to the church is St. Bride's Parsonage, designed by Ross & Macbeth in 1891.[3]
The church is noted for its interior inspired by the Arts & Crafts movement with attractive floor tiling and stained glass windows. There is an impressive stone cross in the churchyard commemorating Alexander Chinnery-Haldane, Bishop of Argyll and the Isles.[4]
The church is one of only two buildings, both churches, known to have been designed by J Garden Brown who died at the age of 27.
