St Dubhthachs Church in BW
This ancient church and cemetery overlooks Loch Duich in between Dornie and Shiel Bridge, near A87 Morvich. In the distance to the left is the mountain Beinn Fhada or Ben Attow ( 3,386′ ). To the right is Sgùrr Fhuaran ( 3,501′ ).
Known as Clachan Duich or St Dubhthach’s church, the graveyard contains many MacRae graves and a memorial to the MacRae Clan Chief, Sir Colin George MacRae. A parish has been on this site as early as 750 AD. In 1050 the church was dedicated to St Dubhthach . The church was shelled by the same ships that destroyed the well known Eilean Donan Castle. The former parish church of Kintail may be in ruins ( reconstructed in 1855 ), but the burial ground surrounding it is still in use today. Morvich, Scotland, United Kingdom.
