RC Diocese of Argyll & the Isles

St. Columba's Cathedral stands on the edge of Oban Bay,
looking west across the Firth of Lorne to Iona and the Hebridean isles,
and across the Atlantic to North America and Canada.
Its austere beauty echoes the ancient faith
of the Catholic tradition of the Celtic people of Scotland.
Throughout the year people at home and abroad request
that the Cathedral be floodlit to mark important moments of life and death.
