Yes, you read that right and you’re seeing right, a chapel with a chimney. Not much is known about the history of the chapel on Nave Island, just off Ardnave Point on Islay. The chapel was abandoned around 250 years ago, at some point afterwards kelp burners (to obtain soda ash) set up shop in the ruin, hence the chimney.

Is there a chance to get there from Islay? Any boats available?
If you ask around (eg in Portnahaven) you might be able to find someone willing to take you there. It won’t be a quick trip though, as there are no landing sites let alone ports nearby. Nearest are Portnahaven and Port Askaig.
If you know how to kayak and can bring it that might be easier. You could launch it from somewhere at Ardnave and kayak there.
Thanks, highly appreciated. Will check this out.
