Unsavoury History

09 Mar 2025 39 58 107
A moss covered bench on the seaward side of Tumpan Church, Trumpan Church, Isle of Skye, which is probably from 1330s and it lasted until 1578 when the doors were barred and the thatched roof set on fire with a congregation of MacLeods at worship inside, this atrocity by the Macdonald clan was retribution for an attack on clan members on the isle of Eigg The history and reason for this and the associated clans in these bloody massacres can be read here sobt.co.uk/trumpan-church Better large in my opinion. ,,,,,, HBM and a nice week!

Pre Reformation! HWW!

St Mary's old church & cemetery, Kilmuir, Dunvegan, Isle of Skye. The church was built in 1694 -- the date is inscribed on a stone over the north door -- to replace an older medieval church that served as the parish church for the Duirinish region of northern Skye. The most striking memorial inside the burial ground is a large ashlar obelisk commemorating Lord Thomas Fraser, 10th Lord Lovat, who died in 1699 For clarity, a large view would be appreciated, HWW!
