Ancient Temple in Highlands

Ancient chapel of uncertain dedication on a small island in Broadford Bay, Skye. Probably related to the Irish-Gaelic Christian Missionary movement of the 8th - 14th centuries. (Will update with photographs and further details next week).

Hi

Pabay has a Web Site http://www.pabay.org

The chapel site is marked on OS maps but is now very overgrown with grass.

Regards

The chapel its self is in a very poor state of repair, the walls are almost entirely collapsed and the near by structures, of which there are several, are almost completely covered in a thick layer of blanket bog. The chapel is difficult to find over land, but from the shore one need only follow the outlet of the stream to the south for a short distance before the chapel appears on the right. There are several ghost stories related to Pabay, which allows for an atmosphere whilst at the chapel but also at the farm buildings near by which are all but deserted for much of the year. The Island is privately owned.
