Beauly Priory, Scotland
Cille Bharra

Cille Bharra, also known as Kilbarr Church or St Barr's Church, is located on the eastern slopes of Ben Eoligarry. The site contains the remains of a medieval church dedicated to St Barr, with two chapels and a cemetery. The site is somewhat similar to the chapels at Howmore on South Uist. The church likely dates to the 1100s and was built on the site of an earlier 7th-century chapel.

Kilbar Stone

At the east end of the North Chapel is a replica of the Kilbar Stone, a unique Christian-Nordic Runic Stone dating back to the 900s. The stone has a decorated cross on the front and a runic inscription on the reverse: "This cross has been raised in memory of Thorgeth, daughter of Steinar". The original stone is preserved by the National Museum of Scotland in Edinburgh.
