KKCPA is a Trust established in 2009 with the aim of conserving and consolidating the 12th century ruined churches and churchyards at Killean and, Kilchenzie, West Kintyre. Our aims are achieved by applying for grants and funds from other bodies. by obtaining regular specialist assessments of the needs of the buildings. and liaising with the local authority who own the sites. We are also in partnership with another charity, LOAF (Laggan Opportunity and Amenity Fund), to provide similar aims for their 12th century ruin at Kilkivan, Machrihanish. Our joint project is known as 'The Medieval Kintyre Project'.
