Old Photograph Stone Isle Of Tiree Scotland
Old photograph of the Ringing Stone on the Isle of Tiree located South West Of Coll which is West of Isle Of Mull, Scotland. This rock known in Gaelic as Clach a' Choire’ is about ten feet across and is struck by small hand held stones. It’s said that if it is ever moved, the island will sink back into the ocean. The Tiree name derives from Tìr Iodh, meaning, land of the corn, from the days of the 6th century Celtic missionary and abbot St Columba. Tiree provided the monastic community on the island of Iona, south east of the island, with grain. A number of early monasteries once existed on Tiree itself, and several sites have stone cross slabs from this period.
