Scope and Content Detail of West Highland grave-slab in burial-ground at Kilarrow 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 in the 14th or 15th century. On the left, below a foliated cross at the top, is an effigy of a priest standing in a cusped and foliated niche. To the right is an illegible inscription above a chalice and foliage. At the bottom are plant-stems springing from the tails of two animals. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
