Scope and Content Drawing showing ground plan of chapel on Nave Island, Islay, Argyll and Bute Nave Island lies just north of the northern end of the Rhinns peninsula of Islay. The remains of this medieval chapel and burial-ground are situated on the south-eastern shore of the island. The chapel, first mentioned in 1549, has its origins in the early 13th century, and was out of use by the 18th century. A furnace and chimney for burning kelp was added in the early 19th century, and a lean-to was added to the south wall. This plan of the chapel shows the furnace in the north-east (top right) corner, with the 19th-century lean-to addition on the south wall. Originally open at the west (left) end, this may have been used as a cart-shed. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
