Day Four: Kildalton Cross

Before our appointment at Lagavulin for some early morning getting sloshed, we decided to take in some culture and go see the Kildalton Cross. The Kildalton Cross dates back to approximately 800 A.D. making it super old and super cool. It was a gray morning, shockingly enough, but we were able to poke around the cross and church area for a good while. 







Inside the church near the cross - this is one of my favorite of E's uses of panorama

Panorama of the whole area. You can see me climbing over the wall in the corner
As with most things on Islay, the area surrounding the cross was fair game for grazing sheep. (picture by E)

These sheep were blissfully unconcerned by our presence. 



This is a badass sort of grave marker. 

All in all, we had just enough time to poke around and take pictures (and dodge the more angry sheep) before it was time to head off to our last on-Islay distillery tour at Lagavulin.
