St Moluag's Cathedral, Lismore

St Moluag's Cathedral is located on the Scottish island of Lismore just off the coast of Oban.

It was a major centre of Christianity in Scotland, and the seat of the later medieval bishopric of Argyll or the Isles.

To modern eyes it seems an isolated location for such a centre, but in an era when the fastest and most reliable transport was by water, Lismore was ideally situated.

The chief surviving medieval features are three doorways, one blocked, another originally the entrance through the pulpitum, a piscina and the triple-arched sedilia.

Several late medieval grave slabs are preserved in the church or adjoining graveyard.
