White Island - Ruins of an ancient church
The island is best known for its carved figures - A boat trip from Castle Archdale
White Island is situated in Castle Archdale Bay. The ruins of an ancient church are found near the shore, built on the site of an earlier monastic settlement. It still has an intact arched Romanesque doorway.
The island is best known for its carved figures which sit in a line along the interior north wall of the church, most carved wearing the long tunics of churchmen. They are all carved in quartzite and were probably constructed between 800 and 1,000 and were later used as building stones in the church, before being uncovered in recent centuries.
