The former parish church of Burness, dedicated to St Colm.
[R1], [R2]
Local tradition of church dedicated to St Columba, in burial
ground still in use, church completely removed. OS visit Jul 70.
The usual confusion between St Colm and St Columba. - The
strong local tradition is that the parish church of Burness was
St Columba's while the chapel on Holms of Ire was dedicated to
St Colm.
