A short distance to the SSE of the main seat Uig, at Baille na Cille, there is an old kirkyard, beside the highest part of which stood the old church, built in 1724. The site was occupied by an earlier church, Capail Mor (Big Chapel), the foundations of which are said to be traceable in spring. To the south of it is the site of Capail Beg (Little Chapel), possibly a still earlier church. Capail Mor was once a sanctuary, and there is a tradition that a Macleod fleeing from a Macaulay was killed just as he reached the threshold of the church.
