The Baptist Church on Union Street and Argyll Street. NR 8625 8805. © Martin Briscoe. Between 2011 and 2015 the church was been extended and refurbished - 2015 Streetview. Link.

Christ Church (Episcopal) on Bishopton Road. NR 8599 8837. © Martin Briscoe. A 2021 Streetview provides another view. Link.

Free Church of Scotland on Lochnell Street and Manse Brae. NR 8642 8781.© Martin Briscoe. Link. The Our Story page dates the building to 1844.

A map of 1899 shows a Mission Hall. It's not completely obvious to which building the label should be applied to, but it seems likely that it was (or stood on the site of) what is shown on a map of 1873 as F.C. School - i.e. the school of the nearby Free Church. If this identification is correct, it survives (with a more recent extension) at the junction of Union Street and Manse Brae at NR 8646 8786. 2021 Streetview.

The Parish Church is on Oban Road at NR 8628 8825. © Martin Briscoe. Link.

St. Margaret (R.C.) on Manse Brae and Argyll Street. It's dated here to the 1920's. NR 8633 8821. © Martin Briscoe. Link. Old O.S. maps mark what must be a predecessor (R.C. Church) on Union Street at NR 8637 8795. Lochgilp House (2021Streetview) now stands on the site. Does anything of the chapel survive? The present church history page already referred to doesn't appear to mention it.
