St Magnus Church, Egilsay

The site is recognized as the place of execution of Saint Magnus Erlendsson, Earl of Orkney, in the 12th century.

[1] St Magnus's Church is located near the northwest coast of Egilsay in Orkney, Scotland.

At present (January, 2022), the site is listed as "not open to visitors due to high level masonry inspections".

Magnus spent the night on the island, possibly in a church, and the next day was captured by Haakon and executed.

[5] The existing structure is the last surviving of the round-towered churches of the Northern Isles.
