Church Overview

Port of Menteith Church was built between 1876 and 1878 on the site of a previous church, dating from 1771, in a prominent position on the north east shore of the Lake of Menteith. Historical information available on the Port of Menteith suggests that a church has been sited here since before the Reformation. The church was category B listed in 1971. The church is historically significant for two reasons: firstly because it was designed by renowned and prolific Glasgow architect John Honeyman, who later became a partner in Honeyman and Keppie, the practice where Charles Rennie Mackintosh initially made his name; and secondly, for the very fine trefoil stained glass window by Stephen Adam which depicts faith, hope and charity. This was gifted by Sir Henry Campbell-Bannerman, Prime Minister from 1905 – 08, in memory of his father, Sir James MacOran Campbell, who was Lord Provost of Glasgow from 1840 – 43.
