Kilmun Parish Church and Argyll Mausoleum in Kilmun, Argyll and Bute, Scotland,[1] consists of St Munn's Church (a Category-A-listed building but no longer a parish church of the Church of Scotland), as well as the adjacent mausoleum of the Dukes of Argyll and a historically significant churchyard. The complex is located on the summit of a slight knoll about ten metres from the shoreline of the Holy Loch on the Cowal Peninsula in Argyll, Scotland. The existing church dates from 1841[2] and occupies the site of an older, medieval church. A partly ruined tower from the medieval period still stands to the west of the present building.[3]
