I have a copy of a marriage registration between Ann McPherson and Malcolm Gardner on June 12, 1855 at Kilnave. I am wondering if the chapel at Kilnave was still in use then and if it is likely that the marriage would have taken place in the chapel. Thanks for your help, Allison Akgungor

Hi again Allison, The marriage certificate certainly says they were married at Kilnave, Church of Scotland, Kilchoman on the 12th June - so it is possible that there was a ceremony there but that the church was not necessarily functioning as a church, people tended to get married in all sorts of places, sometimes in Manses or friends houses. I have a note from the STENT Committee raising money to put a wall round the graveyard to stop the interments slipping into the Loch, so it looks as though it was pretty ruinous even then.
