caption_attribution_description: English: Oban: cathedral church of St. John the Divine The Scottish Episcopal Church's cathedral in Oban – not to be confused with the more imposing Catholic cathedral on the northern side of Oban Bay.
context_page_description: St John's Cathedral or the Cathedral Church of St John the Divine is a cathedral of the Scottish Episcopal Church, located in the town of Oban. It is one of the two cathedrals of the Diocese of Argyll and The Isles, and one of the sees of the Bishop of Argyll and The Isles.
  The MacDougalls of Dunollie and Campbells of Dunstaffnage began the project to build an episcopal church in Oban in 1846. The first church was completed in 1864 and as the town grew, so the church developed. The narthex was added in 1882 and then a grand scheme was begun in 1906. Funds ran out before construction finished - thus we are left with a unique Cathedral with each phase clearly visible in the Cathedral you see today and our famous steel girders still supporting the incomplete vision of a grand structure.
