St John's Church is a former church building in Ballachulish, Highland, Scotland. It dates to 1842,[1] replacing an earlier Episcopal church, and was designed by Oban architect Peter Macnab.[2] It is now Category C listed,[3] and stands a few yards southeast of the present church building. The church's burial ground, which features a ha-ha at the seaward boundary, is Category B listed. According to Historic Environment Scotland, it contains an "exceptional collection of 19th-century finely inscribed" tomb stones.[4]
The church's nave was added in 1842, followed forty years later by its chancel.[3]
The main entrance is in the centre of the western gable; a secondary entrance is located in the eastern end of the northern wall.[3]
