Contin Island

Contin Island is an inhabited riverine islet in Ross and Cromarty within the Highland council area of Scotland.

Located in the Black Water, a tributary of the River Conon, it is 2 kilometres (1.2 mi) downstream from Rogie Falls and is connected to the village of Contin by a road bridge and footbridge.

It is wooded at the northern and southern ends and at the centre is the parish church of Contin, dedicated to St Maelrubha or Máel Ruba and the old manse, surrounded by farm land.

[1][2][3] The church is constructed of rubble walls with a slate roof, and the 19th century reconstruction followed the design of William Thomson.

It has arched doors, windows with lattice glazing and a birdcage bell-cot on the west gable.
