St Clement’s Church, Rodel on the Isle of Harris, Outer Hebrides

St Clement's Church, was built around 1520 for the Chiefs of the MacLeods of Harris, (he lived in Dunvegan Castle on the Isle of Skye).

It was a Catholic church before falling into disuse around 1560 but the church grounds were continually used for MacLeod burials.

I took this wee video when I was there this year, the ‘tomb’ is an effigy of Alasdair Crotach MacLeòid who was the first MacLeod chief not to be buried on the island of Iona.

Here’s a wee link for those interested,
