What is recorded here

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Inchcolm, Cell as Cell (16th Century). The official map says its point is accurate as follows: NGR given to the nearest 10m. The record does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.
Inchcolm Cell is associated with Saint Columba, a 6th-century Irish monk and missionary linked to the spread of Christianity in Scotland. The site may have been a small monastic cell connected to the larger Inchcolm Abbey, located on an island in the River Forth, which was founded in the 12th century and dedicated to the Holy Trinity and Saint Andrew.
