Chapel (medieval)

What is recorded here

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records St Columba's Chapel as Chapel (medieval). 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.
St Columba's Chapel is associated with St Columba, a 6th-century Irish monk and missionary who played a key role in the Christianization of Scotland, particularly through his foundation of Iona Abbey. The chapel may have been a place of pilgrimage or local worship linked to the saint's widespread veneration in the Highlands and Islands.

The historic-place record does not grant public access. Check current conditions and ownership before entering land or a building.
