Scotland - Isle of Mull - Fionnphort St Ernan's church detail
St Ernan's church, Fionnphort, Isle of Mull, Scotland. During the 1890s it was decided by the church on Iona that a Mission Chapel should be built at Creich in the Ross of Mull and dedicated to St Erana. Ernan, formerly Prince of Donegal, was uncle to St Columba and one of a group of twelve followers who came with Columba to Iona to set up and manage the Iona Monastery. Through the efforts of the then parish minister, the Rev. Archibald MacMillan (his gravestone is in the church yard), money was raised to build the church. Plans of the church were approved by Presbytery in 1897 and a site chosen to benefit the community. It lies a mile outside Fionnphort, beside the A847 which connects with Bunessan and Craignure and above Loch Poit-na-h-I. http://www.mull-historical-society.co.uk/places-of-worship/bunessan/creich-church.htm
