Chapel Finian

The foundations are all that is left of Chapel Finian, a 10th-11th Century AD chapel that lies on the east side of Luce Bay in The Machars of Dumfries and Galloway. It stands on an old raised beach at Corwall Port and probably takes its name from the Irish St Finian who was educated at Whithorn and died c.579 AD. The site may have been a landing place for Irish pilgrims to St. Ninian's shrine.
