Cill Chriosd, Medieval church ruin in Strath, Scotland
The stone walls of Cill Chriosd stand 8 feet tall, with three windows in the south wall and an entrance featuring carefully carved jambs.
The church site dates back to 1505, serving as a religious center until 1840 when activities moved to a new building in nearby Broadford.
The surrounding graveyard contains numerous MacKinnon clan burials and features a medieval slate tombstone decorated with an intricate foliate cross design.
Located five kilometers from Broadford on the Elgol road, the monument spans an area of 110 meters by 55 meters including the church and burial ground.
The church ruins stand near Loch Cill Chriosd, where marble quarrying activities once supported the local community until operations ceased in 1912.
