Trip to Scotland

Sometimes the smaller and less well known sites also have an interesting history. I visited the ruins of Old Dailly Church while doing some ancestry research. Site of a church from around 1200 until abandoned about 1800 and there are still Covenanters' Graves in the grounds.

Again, thanks for these ideas and keep them coming. I have a year to plan and I want to make sure I have a good understanding of all the options. I know I can't see everything, so I will rely heavily on your recommendations. Thanks.

Maybe you won't have time to get over to the Hebrides but if you did and had only one island to go to, Harris would be a good choice. Beautiful island and if churches are your thing, St Clement's Church at Rodel is an interesting place to visit:-

It doesn't take long on the ferry from Harris to Berneray which opens up the Uists to you, or alternatively it's not a long drive from southern Harris up to Lewis where the likes of Callanish is situated.

I often think Skye is over-rated and personally prefer Mull, which of course also opens up Iona to you. The last I was there I stayed just a mile or so from Dervaig where the church with the round spire is situated. A great place to stay there is at Druimnacroish :-
