This cross, known as Campbell of Lerags Cross, stands above the road to Lerags, just south of Oban, near Kilbride. It was re-erected on its present site in 1926, having lain in pieces in Kilbride Church for over 200 years. Carved from a single block of green schist, the cross was originally erected by Archibald Campbell of Lerags in 1516. This view of the cross was photographed in the first half of the 20th century by M.E.M. Donaldson.

Mary Ethel Muir Donaldson was born in 1876 and came to the Highlands around 1908. She travelled extensively around the North and West Highlands, writing and taking photographs. Between 1912 and 1949 she produced many books on the social history and customs of the North and West Highlands. 'Wanderings in the Western Highlands and Islands' and 'Further Wanderings - Mainly in Argyll' are two of her best known works and both are illustrated with her own photographs. She died in a nursing home in Edinburgh in 1958, and was buried in Oban
