| St. Ciaran's Cave | Continued | [continued from page 35] dropping from the roof of the cave. "From the close connection subsisting between this Country & Ireland, it is probable that the light of Christianity shone in the fifth century on these lands, long before St. Ciran in 536 became the Apostle of Kintyre. He took up his humble residence in a cave, situated 4 miles from Campbelton which still retains his name. In the centre of the cave, is a small circular basin, which is always full of water, supplied by the continual dropping from the roof of the cave. There is also a rudely sculptured cross, on a stone upon which the saint is said to have sat and prayed. This St. Kiaran was highly esteemed by his contemporary St. Columba" New Stat. [Statistical] Account "There is a large cave upon the shore at Achanhoan, 4 miles south-east of Campbelton called the cave of Ciaran in which is a carved stone, said to have been engraved by a persecuted minister or hermit, and that he was supported by the peasantry, being much esteemed by them. Some strange stories are told about him which we cannot credit" History of Kintyre by Peter Macintosh. |
