Unfortunately the only view you can get of this magnificent Celtic cross at the moment, looking up from the road to Kilchoman cottages. The area around Kilchoman church is closed for public access as of writing this due to dangers of the church ruin walls collapsing.

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.
