Kilmartin, Kintyre The Kilmartin, Kintyre war memorial is an arch over the churchyard gate; although not a common construction for a war memorial, it's darkly fitting. The churchyard is filled with the expected old stones. Some of the dead they honour were lost in centuries-gone wars. A small glass-roofed stone building houses an unexpected treasure. Inside are slabs arranged chronologically from inside the doorway to the left around the walls to the right. They date from 1300 to 1700, and are the work of sculptors who lived in the Loch Awe area. They are very beautiful, with motifs more Celtic than Christian. I wonder where rest these ancient heroes of fargotten crusades. Next: Highlands Travel home
