A dramatic place. This has been a religious site for about 1200 years and in Gaelic Balnakeil means “bay of the church”. There is a tomb within the walls of the church which has the inscription ""Donald Makmurchou here lies low Was ill to his friend, and worse to to his foe True to his master in prosperity and woe. DMMC 1623".

Red sky in the morning, shepherds warning. And that turned out right on the button. The rain soon arrived and by the end of the day it was blowing F-8 gusting 9.
