NM 754 143 Old Parish Church, Kilbrandon and Kilchattan, Seil.
This church was built in 1735 to serve the united parish of Kilbrandon and Kilchattan, and remained in use until the erection of the present parish church in 1864; the building was subsequently converted into an isolation-hospital and now serves as a private dwelling-house*. The shell of the original T -plan church remains, but now incorporates no features of interest apart from a bird-cage belfry which surmounts the W gable.
