Category:Kilfinlaggan Chapel
Kilfinlaggan Chapel, or "cell of Finlaggan", is a mediaeval chapel tentatively believed to have been constructed on the site of the Monastery of St. Findlugan, an Irish saint. From toponyms of this type with the segment kil-, from the presence of the Irish saint names, and from ethnic and archaeological similarities to north Ireland, it has been deduced that the Scots entered Britain as conquerors and Christianizing missionaries from north Ireland in the 5th century, the probable date of the monastery. Subsequently when the island found use as the capital of the Kingdom of the Islea the chapel was erected to commemorate the namesake of the loch and region.
