    Hiking

    Marked with a celtic cross is the birthplace of St Colmcille. It was put in place in 1911. Next to the cross is Leac na Cumha or the Stone of Sorrow, which is recognisable from the small cup marks indented in it. It is said that St Colmcille was born on this stone.

    This picture is the back of the cross,
    I found that out later...
    but still a nice place to find peace.
