Driving out to Kilchoman having just arrived on the evening boat on a cloudy and moody June evening. Loch Gorm in the distance. A slightly brighter spot on the horizon suggested better weather, although it turned out to be a false hope.
Standing next to the Kilchoman road overlooking Loch Gorm, the memorial cairn and plaque for the Kilchoman Bards. The inscription reads:
Erected By Many Friends
To The Memory of
DUNCAN & CHARLES
MACNIVEN
Kilchoman Bards
A view from the crags over Kilchoman, from left to right: Shepherd’s Cottage, Kilchoman Church (sadly a ruin now), Kilchoman Cottages and Kilchoman House. In the middle distance on the right you can also just make out Rockside farm with Kilchoman distillery. In the distance Loch Gorm and Carnduncan.
