Chapel, Eilean Chaluim-Chille.
On a small tidal island in the upper part of Portree Bay are the grass-grown foundations of a church bearing the name of St Columba. It is a simple oblong chamber 26 feet long by 16 feet wide, the walls being roughly 2 feet 7 inches at the sides and 3 feet 6 inches at the gable ends. This portion of the bay used to be known as Loch Chaluimchille.
