Contin Island, River island in Highland, Scotland
Contin Island lies between two arms of the Black Water, featuring wooded areas at its northern and southern ends with farmland in the center.
The present church building on Contin Island dates from 1490, replacing an earlier structure burned by the MacDonalds between 1482 and 1488.
The parish church on Contin Island, dedicated to Saint Maelrubha, contains two historical stones from approximately 1200 in its churchyard.
Access to Contin Island is available through a road bridge and footbridge that connect the island to the village of Contin.
The manse, constructed in 1794 and enlarged during the 19th century, remains an inhabited private residence on this 37-acre river island.
