Scope and Content Detail of West Highland grave-slab in burial-ground of Kilarrow Old Parish Church, Bridgend, Islay, Argyll and Bute The village of Bridgend is situated at the head of Loch Indaal, just north of Bowmore. The medieval Kilarrow Parish Church was originally sited here, within the grounds of Islay House, until a new parish church was built in Bowmore in 1767-9. There are a number of funerary monuments and crosses in the burial-ground of the old parish church dating from various periods. This tapered grave-slab was carved c.1500-60. At the top is a foliated cross, while in the lower portion is a central sword, which was a symbol of power and strength. On either side of the hilt there is a griffin and a stag. Below each of these animals there are plant-scrolls typical of the period. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
