Cille Choirill
From Infogalactic: the planetary knowledge core
Cille Choirill is a 15th-century[1] Roman Catholic church situated in Glean Spean in Lochaber, Scotland. Dedicated to St Kerrill,[2] and identified by some[3] as being associated with St Cyril, it was possibly built by Cameron of Lochiel.
After lying roofless for some time, it was repaired in 1932/33 with financial support from Nova Scotian descendants of Lochaber emigrants.[1][4]
Situated in the Roman Catholic parish of St Margaret's, and the former civil parish of Kilmonivaig, it is used for mass once per month during the summer months.
The Gaelic poets Iain Lom and Dòmhnall Mac Fhionnlaigh nan Dàn are buried in the churchyard.[4]
