Dervaig

Dervaig (Scottish Gaelic: Dearbhaig) is a small village on the Isle of Mull off the west coast of Scotland.

[1] The village is within the parish of Kilninian and Kilmore,[1] and is situated on the B8073[2] roughly midway between Tobermory and Calgary.

[1] Both the English name Dervaig and the Gaelic name Dearbhaig are derived from the Old Norse Dervig, meaning "Good inlet",[3] referring to Loch a' Chumhainn, which the town sits on.

[4] The existing church was built in 1905, being designed by Glasgow architect Peter MacGregor Chalmers with stained glass by Stephen Adam.

[5] The "pencil" shape design of the tower is an uncommon sight nowadays in Scotland, however many similar churches still survive in Ireland.
