Scheduled monument!
Trumpan, Waternish,Isle of Skye,

Trumpan Church is a ruined medieval church located on the Isle of Skye in Scotland. In 1578, the church was the site of a brutal massacre of the Clan MacLeod by Clan Macdonald, (also known as Clan Ranald) of South Uist. The attack was in retaliation for the massacre of hundreds of members of Clan Macdonald on the island of Eigg the previous year. The church and surrounding graveyard contain late medieval carved gravestones. (wikipedia)

In its early says it was known as (St Conan’s Church). www.visit-waternish.co.uk/listings/trumpan

HWW and a nice rest of the week!
