Scope and Content Drawing showing general plan of chapel and burial-ground 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. As this plan shows, there were a number of other buildings within the vicinity of the chapel. These were probably agricultural buildings, mainly dating from the 18th century or earlier. Their exact use is not known. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
