"That he cannot for a moment believe that this church could have been built in the fourteenth century. but that the thinner walls at the east end are probably repairs made by the Lady Annie near that time, as stated by tradition"
also "The older building I believe to be of great age possibly erected under the direction of St. Columba himself, but certainly prior to the Norse invasion at the end of the 8th Century."
