Tour Scotland Photograph Cill Chriosd Church Graveyard Isle Of Skye Inner Hebrides


Tour Scotland photograph of the ruined Cill Chriosd Church, Isle of Skye, Scotland. Located between Broadford and Elgol. Cill Chriosd, or Christ’s Church, the roofless ruins of a 16th century church that once served as the parish church of Strath. In 1840 a new church was built in Broadford, and Cill Chriosd was abandonned. Nearby is the small hillock where, legend tells us, the 7th century Saint Maelrubha held a mass for the locals. Beinn na Caillich, in the clouds, is one of the Red Hills, or Red Cuillin. Its name is translated into English as Hill of the Old Woman.
