Trumpan Church, burial ground and 'Priest's Stone', Hallin
Trumpan Church, burial ground and 'Priest's Stone', Hallin, Medieval church ruins and burial ground in Waternish Peninsula, Scotland.
The rectangular stone structure measures 15 meters by 7 meters, with a preserved north wall containing an arched doorway and intact east gable.
In 1578, members of Clan Macdonald set fire to the church during Sunday service, trapping the MacLeod congregation inside as revenge for previous conflicts.
Medieval grave slabs in the churchyard display detailed carvings, including a tonsured priest in prayer and a claymore sword surrounded by animal motifs.
The ruins stand at 200 feet above sea level, located one quarter mile north of Ardmore Bay on the northern section of Waternish Peninsula.
A four-sided monolith known as the Priest's Stone stands 1.3 meters tall in the burial ground, featuring a natural cavity near its summit.
