ARCHITECT: UNIDENTIFIED (1875, 2001)
Luss Parish Church, in Luss, Scotland on the banks of Loch Lomond, is a Church of Scotland and is dedicated to Saint Kessog.
It was first built in 1875 and then had major restoration in 2001.
It is a cruciform church in the Decorated Gothic style with a belfry at the crossing.
To me, the exterior architecture of this church is quite "busy" for a small church, and the interior has an unusual layout with the pulpit to one side,
and the pews laid out on both sides of the traditional crossing in the nave and choir and across from the pulpit in the left transit.
