Teampull na Trionaid, Medieval church ruins in North Uist, Scotland.
The stone walls of Teampull na Trionaid stand against the North Uist landscape, displaying ancient architectural elements from its 13th-century construction period.
The monastery served as an educational center in the Middle Ages, established by Beathag, daughter of the Norse warlord Somerled who controlled the Western Isles.
The ruins mark a significant period of religious education in Scottish Highland history, where scholars gathered to study before the Scottish Reformation.
Visitors can reach the ruins by following a path through the hamlet of Carinish, with careful attention needed during wet weather conditions.
The site connects to the Battle of Carinish in 1601, where clan warfare unfolded with bows and arrows across the nearby Ditch of Blood.
