070 | Applies to the remains of an ancient chapel founded by Columba - situated within the Graveyard at the Established Church near Lochaline. "Columba founded the religious establishment of Kill-Challuim-Chille: but the buildings, the ruins of which are still to be seen, consisting of two very striking arches were erected at a much later date. Close to them is a very handsome cross; still standing in perfect preservation, while the remains of other curiously carved crosses are laid upon some of the adjoining graves. The burying-ground surrounds the ruin. The tomb of the renowned Mach-Mhic Ian is still pointed out. On his tomb there is the fitting representation of a mailed warrior with a ponderous broadsword; and his bossy shield remains in the hands of a gentleman residing in Leachd-nam-Saighed."
