Description
The ruins and cemetery of Cill Chriosd, a former parish church of Strath, on the Isle of Skye in Scotland. The church was constructed around the 16th century, replacing an earlier Medieval church on the same location, and was used until 1840 when the Parish church was relocated. The church's location is thought to have a heritage of Christian worship dating back to the 7th century, but most graves are from the 18th and 19th centuries and are connected to Clan MacKinnon.
The church and cemetery are surrounded by a metal fence with an entry gate that has a sign asking that the gate be kept closed to keep sheep out of the cemetery. Despite being closed when I got there, sheep were grazing throughout the grounds. They managed to stay out of this photo for me, and I was fortunate to have a wonderfully dramatic sky to capture the ruins and grounds.
