    The Kildalton Cross, Isle of Islay

    This high cross was carved in the 700s, and is one of the few early Christian crosses in Scotland still standing in its original site. Excavations have shown there was an even earlier cross-slab here, so this place has long been associated with Christian worship . The cross is covered in magnificent carving, both abstract knot work and scenes from the Bible. You might be able to pick out the Virgin and Child flanked by two angels just below the cross head.

    The adjacent church was probably built in the late 1100s / early 1200s and was abandoned by c1700. There are around 17 West Highland style recumbent grave slabs in the church yard which date from the 14th and 15th centuries. One has been set into the wall of the church. It depicts a knight in full armour with a smaller figure at his shoulder, which might mean his wife was buried with him 🗡️⛪️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿
