Kirkapol Chapels

Today's the day . . . . . . . . . . . . to depart

The ancient chapels of Kirkapol shown here are situated within a stone's throw of our hotel.  The larger of the ruins, which dates back to the 14th century, is the former parish church and was dedicated to Saint Columba.  The smaller ruin was also dedicated to Saint Columba and dates from the 13th century. The larger chapel stands in its own graveyard and there are many ancient and interesting burial stones still visible.

There was time for a visit before we left the island of Tiree today.  We've had a wonderful few days here - it's a very special place . . . . .
