The chapel at Kirkapol may date from the 8th century

We advised in the grant aided conservation of this ancient and picturesque chapel which may date from the 8th century, at Kirkapol on the Isle of Tiree, the most westerly of the Inner Hebrides. The project, carried out by Carruthers Conservation, included soft walltopping using puddled clay and local turf, and careful repointing using lime based mortars. The monument is an important part of a pilgrimage trail comprising a number of early Christian sites, others of which we have also advised on.
