St Mary's old church & cemetery, Kilmuir, Dunvegan, Isle of Skye.
The church was built in 1694 -- the date is inscribed on a stone over the north door -- to replace an older medieval church that served as the parish church for the Duirinish region of northern Skye.
The most striking memorial inside the burial ground is a large ashlar obelisk commemorating Lord Thomas Fraser, 10th Lord Lovat, who died in 1699
For clarity, a large view would be appreciated, HWW!

I like this picture very much!
It is a very different composition, and amazing to see it has stood for so long without the stones being nicked / repurposed into something else.
Fantastic colours too
Best Wishes, HWW,, and stay safe!!
Peter

This ruin is within a community and on a main road, so has benefitted from better protection than many more remote churches!
