there's no signpost to this place - nor can I find any reference to it in anything regarding the area since a 1936 tourist guide.

but it's there, and I've been several times now, and only met one or two folk - mostly walking their dogs.

the small sign, cemented onto an equally small rock at the 'entrance' reads:

ANCIENT BURIAL GROUND
AND SITE OF CATHEDRAL CHURCH
OF THE BISHOPS OF THE ISLES
FROM 1070 TO 1498
SIMILARLY ANCIENT IS THE
MORTUARY CHAPEL NICOLSONS AISLE
WHERE ACCORDING TO TRADITION,
TWENTY-EIGHT CHIEFS OF THAT CLAN ARE BURIED

on passing through the 'entrance' you are at once aware of a sense of 'place' there is here. walking around the small area, you happen upon gravestones carved many hundreds of years ago, depicting - on one a skull and crossed bones, on another, a warrior with his hands resting on his broadsword.

the thin sound of a nearby curlew pulls you reluctantly back from where you've found yourself

worlds within worlds, eh
