Lynturk Church, built in the 19th century, is a small rural church located in the Scottish Highlands, traditionally associated with Saint Fillan, a 7th-century Irish monk and healer. Local tradition holds that Saint Fillan founded a monastic site in the area, and the church may stand on or near an earlier sacred site linked to his missionary work and healing wells.
