Old Killean Estate, northwest shore of the Kintyre Peninsula towards Cambeltown. Just another old ruin of a church or chapel by the side of the road, age unknown but old (14th Century?).



Surrounded by 19th Century gravestones, didn't see any older.

Windows and doors of the original chapel had at some point been filled in, by someone good at his craft...





and attached to the body of the original chapel, a crypt, too dark to come up on my iphone but with old-looking coffin-shaped stone slabs on the floor and others stood up leaning against the wall. Strange hole in the stonework above the sign (it was the rain, some other shots came out like this too)...



...an the inscription above the entrance to the crypt, 19th Century? Looked younger than the crypt itself...




Gotta be a story or five here, yet couldn't find anything on google.
