The churchyard of St Clements on the Isle of Harris.


St Clement's church at Rodel (Roghadal in Gaelic) on the Isle of Harris was built in the early 16th century. The chancel contains the tomb of Alasdair Crotach or Hunchbacked Alasdair, the churches builder. Following disrepair after the Reformation, the church was repaired and reroofed in the 1780s and again in 1873 and 1913. It is described by Pevsner as 'the grandest medieval building in the Western Isles'.
