Kildaton Celtic Cross Islay Hebrides Scottish Scotland
Ancient Cross in Isle of Islay. Carved from a single piece of epidiorite in the 6th century, this peerless cross still stands proudly next to the ruins of a church which it pre-dates by several centuries. Kildalton cross and chapel located off the A846. The Celtic cross, which is preserved in the churchyard, is the finest surviving high cross in Scotland. Standing metres (9ft) high, it was cut from a single slab of epidiorite in the 6th century. The chapel itself is a ruin, but nearby there are a number of early grave-slabs, among them a figure of a medieval knight.
