Kilmory Knap is a repository for the various carved stones that have been found in the area. The major feature is MacMillans Cross which is allegedly the one of the oldest (if not the oldest) examples of this type of cross.
It is a bit out the way to get to, there is no through road. Head for Castle Sween and keep going a bit, you will come to Kilmory Knap.......
