Inch Kenneth

Monastery (period Unassigned)(possible)

What is recorded here

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Inch Kenneth as Monastery (period Unassigned)(possible). The official map says its point is accurate as follows: NGR given to the nearest 1km. The record does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.
Inch Kenneth is associated with St. Kenneth, a 6th-century Scottish saint and one of the early rulers of the Pictish kingdom of Fortriu, later becoming a monk and founder of a monastery. The site may have been a place of pilgrimage and is linked to traditions of healing and spiritual renewal, common to many early Christian monastic sites in Scotland.
