Bowmore

A B&W photo showing the Celtic Cross and headstones of (Killarrow Church) "The Round Church" at Bowmore. Bowmore Distillery can be seen just in front of the church with "Loch Indaal" in the background.

The Round Church stands in a magnificent location at the head of the village of Bowmore's Main Street. From here it dominates the village and offers views down the centre of Main Street to Loch Indaal and beyond. Folklore suggests that the circular design was intended to ensure that the devil could find no corners in which to hide. The Church was built between 1767/69.

A view of the Village from the opposite shore of "Loch Indaal". Loch Indaal stretches roughly from the Mull of Oa in the east to Rinns Point in the west and offers miles and miles of beautiful unspoilt beaches which are great to discover and are safe for bathing. The shores of Loch Indaal are approximately 35 miles long and show a big variety in landscapes.
