Innis Chonan is an island in Loch Awe, Scotland.

Walter Douglas Campbell, great-grandfather of the Duke of Argyll built a large house on Innis Chonan and St Conan's Tower in Lochawe as a winter home for the family. [cite web| url=http://www.conanstower.com/info.html| title=St Conan's Tower Apartments| accessdate=2007-08-24] Walter was a self-made architect and delighted in building unusual properties, including St Conan’s Kirk, which is on the mainland nearby, an eccentric blend of church styles.
