Church of Kilmartin

The main building in the village of Kilmartin, south of Oban on the west coast of the Scottish highlands, Kilmartin Church is a small gray stones structure, which houses the oldest carved stones in Scotland! One of them is a Christian cross, engraved with an image of the crucifixion, dating back to the eighth century. This cross is engraved on both sides, and is one of the best examples of stonework from that period.
