St. Columba's Cathedral is a Roman Catholic church building. The building, designed in a modern neo-Gothic style, is located in the west of the city directly on Oban Bay. In 1971, St. Columba's Cathedral was added to the Scottish monument list in the highest category A. The church is still in use as such today. The architect responsible for the planning was Giles Gilbert Scott, who designed the Liverpool Cathedral, Waterloo Bridge and Battersea Power Station as well as the famous red telephone boxes in Great Britain.
