Old Photograph Shore Road Kilchattan Bay Islay Scotland

Old photograph of cottages and houses on Shore Road in the village of Kilchattan Bay, Isle of Bute, Scotland. This Scottish village is named after the sixth century bishop, Saint Cathan, who established a hermitage here in AD 539. His nephew was Saint Blane and a chapel was established in his honour in the 12th century. St Blane's Chapel still exists as a ruin, one mile to the south of Kilchattan village. Blog post of interest to folks with ancestry, genealogy or Scottish Family Roots in Scotland who may wish to visit one day.
