NS0361 : St Ninian's Chapel, Isle of Bute
taken 15 years ago, near to Straad, Bute, Argyll And Bute, Scotland
St Ninian's Chapel, Isle of Bute
The chapel of St Ninian (6th/7th century), on the bay of the same name - the two houses on the left have no electricity- or gas-supply (and perhaps no mains water) but appear to be in use as holiday-homes. St Ninian was a missionary whose base was at Whithorn on the Solway Coast (and he had a great eye for a view - every place I have been which bears his name has a wonderful outlook!); he travelled along the western seaboard of Scotland spreading the Christian faith.
