The island of Gigha is separated from the mainland by the Sound of Gigha. It is a small island of only 6 miles (10km) from north to south, with an area of 3447 acres. The island was granted to the Lords of the Isles in the 14th century and has changed hands many times since. It now belongs to the island community.
The ruined church at Kilchattan dates from the 13th century. Most of the area within the church is covered in stone burial slabs. Some of the carvings have faded while others are still clear.
