Back to the Past (PiP) HBM!

Back to the Past (PiP) HBM!
Take a seat with the ruins of the post Reformation St Mary's Church, Dunvegan at your back HBM!

The lintel on the north door is dated 1694 and a burial enclosure dates back to around 1735. Although not the principal resting place for MacLeod chiefs a few are buried here as are generations of MacCrimmons who were the heridatary pipers to the MacLeods. There is an 18th century obelisk memorial to Lord Thomas Frazer in the graveyard

Today there is a popular walk known as the Two Churches walk that leads from Duirinish Church through woodland and moor and ending here at St Mary;s Church. On the way there are views of Loch Dunvegan to MacLeod's Tables and the Cuillins in the distance to be enjoyed from the viewpoint of fthe Milennium Stone.

We have only been in Scotland a couple of times though we lived in Northern Ireland for nearly ten years. We have a daughter in Belfast and if this covid nonsense is ever over hope to visit her and spend some time in Scotland again.

Thank you very much Ron. We normally visit a couple of times a year but as with you covid has made that impossible. I was saddened on this visit that everything seemed pretty much to be closed and do worry that things may just not ever open up again. I hope it is all over pretty quickly so that you can visit your daughter again. It is nice to catch up by phone or video but I do miss a good hug!
