History

At the site of St Munn 's Parish Church there were already ecclesiastical predecessors. At least since the 13th century, the existence of a church is occupied at this location. However, today towering beside the church tower ruin probably not from this time but belonged to a collegiate church, which made Duncan Campbell of Lochawe build in 1442. After the choir was redesigned in 1688 to take advantage of a use of the building as the main church of the Parish, in 1841, this building was largely demolished.

The present church was built by the architect Thomas Burns in the 1840s. Among the motives of the new building was the desire to create a larger space to accommodate the increasingly arriving summer vacationers. In the years 1898 and 1899 the architect Peter McGregor Chalmers made ​​a redesign of the interior.
