Lonely Kilnave Chapel, close to Loch Gruinart on the north side of the Isle of Islay, and its weather-worn 1300-year-old cross. The chapel was the site of an atrocity committed during the Battle of Traigh Ghruinneart in 1598. More pics and info: www.undiscoveredscot...

nuair a tha mi fhìn nam sheasamh
aig ceann Loch an Dala
’s mi a’ coimhead thar cuain geur
a’ deàrrsadh ’s a’ deàlradh
fo ghrian na sìorraidheachd
chan fhaic mi sgath dhen ghlasadh cheilteach…

Day 15 of #31DaysOfGraves - Damaged
Around 160 west coast winters and the invasive roots of wispy lichens have given this, formerly sturdy, slate memorial at Kilnave on Islay the appearance of splintered and weathered wood.
A few more generations and it too will have returned to crumbling dust...

With their leader dead, the Macleans began to panic and race back to their ship.
Around 30 could see they were never going to make it in time, so barricaded themselves in Kilnave Chapel instead.

This tranquil spot on Islay is Kilnave Chapel, reached by just a short walk through a field but with the ability to take you back in time.
Unfortunately, that time wasn't as peaceful as today and in 1598, Kilnave played a part in the Battle of Traigh Ghruinneart, the last clan conflict on Islay.
