Kilnave Chapel
Jan. 25th, 2014 02:04 pmOur last day on Islay, we started out with a tour of Laphroaig distillery. After that we went to find a nearby standing stone. On our way back down to Port Ellen, we stopped by the Highland Cows again (some of the earlier photos were from this stop). Then we had lunch at a local diner. It was a computer cafe/youth center/nonprofit. Food was decent, prices were fair. Didn't see anyone else who looked like a tourist. Then we went up through Bowmore and around Loch Indaal, but went north. The north side of the island doesn't get much traffic. We took a one-land road along Loch Gruinart.
Loch Gruinart is one mile wide and four miles long, running from the Atlantic on the north side of the island. Kilnave Chapel overlooks the loch, about a mile from the ocean. In this photo, past the point is the Atlantic, with Colonsay island beyond. The mountains in the distance are on Mull.
Kilnave Chapel is about 600 years old. The cross likely dates to the late 700's.
