The cemetery outside Craighouse near the crofting community of Keils has graves dating back to the medieval period right through to the present day. The 'building' in the centre of the picture is a Campbell mausoleum.
This is a Medieval grave slab
Ragwort was still flowering, just, next to the burn flowing past the cemetery. There was no sign here either of the Grey wagtails that used to grace these burns. I have not seen a Grey wagtail on Islay or Jura since the big freeze last winter.
