As of writing this unfortunately the only way to see the famous and beautiful Kilchoman Cross, from the road behind it. As the ruin of Kilchoman church has become unsafe the council had to close the cemetery around it, with it blocking direct access to the cross.

A view from the north eastern end of Kilnaughton beach, where Cornabus burn runs into the bay. Behind it on the left what to my knowledge is an old bathing hut (as of writing this not sure where it got, but I believe there are plans to restore it to its former glory). Port Ellen in the distance on the right.
