Finlaggan

The Finlaggan Trust maintains the site and also refurbished a derelict cottage that has been converted into a comprehensive museum.

[2] The centre contains numerous artefacts discovered during archaeological excavations: from a sheep wool quilted aketon, worn under armour, to an ancient cross related to the lords.

The stone walls of a medieval chapel dedicated to St Findlugan on Eilean Mòr have been stabilised and several 16th century graves put on display and covered by large glass panels.

In May 2019, researchers at the University of St Andrews, working with the Finlaggan Trust and the National Museum of Scotland, announced the creation of a virtual-reality reconstruction of the settlement in the early 15th century, based on archaeological data.

In the first half of the 7th century, a monastic community was established on Eilean Mòr, the largest of the three islands in the loch.
