πŸ“Œ Church in Carinish, North Uist
β˜…

Teampull na Trionaid (Church of the Trinity) is a ruined, 13th century church and probable monastery at Carinish, close to the southwestern corner of North Uist. Good views across the island’s interior towards Eaval complement the weathered brickwork; you can duck through the remains of a vaulted passageway to reach a burial aisle beyond the main church. The car park for the teampull is also next to the site of the 1601 Battle of Carinish fought between the MacDonalds and MacLeods. Brown tourist signs point out the Feith na Fala – or ditch of blood.
