Glenaray and Inveraray Parish Church, a historic A-listed kirk on the shores of Loch Fyne in Argyll and Bute, has been put up for sale for offers over £195,000. The sale is part of the Church of Scotland's wider programme of offloading hundreds of surplus churches and manses as it shrinks its property portfolio amid falling congregations and rising maintenance costs, making this Highland kirk the latest in a growing number of Scottish churches to be sold off.

Designed by architect Robert Mylne and built between 1795 and 1802, the church was unusually constructed with two near-identical halves separated by a 25in-thick internal wall, originally serving separate English-speaking Lowland and Gaelic-speaking Highland congregations, each with its own entrance. Its central spire was demolished in 1941, the two congregations merged in 1930, and by 1957 the former Gaelic half had become a church hall and memorial chapel. The building forms part of the Georgian planned town of Inveraray, created by the Dukes of Argyll after the original settlement was cleared in the 1770s to give Inveraray Castle greater seclusion.
