The ruins of a 12th- and 13th-century church, Trinity Temple or Teampall na Trionad, have survived. It is believed to have originally been a monastery, expanded into a place of learning in the 14th century. It was destroyed after the Reformation and then partially rebuilt and used as a cemetery in the 19th century.

Trinity Temple, also known as Teampull na Trionaid, is a historic ruin on the island of North Uist, in the Outer Hebrides of Scotland. It was once a medieval monastery and college, founded by Beathag, the daughter of Somerled, a powerful Scottish lord. The building was enlarged and restored several times but was destroyed during the Scottish Reformation. It is now a listed monument of European significance and possibly Scotland’s oldest university.

You can visit the site by following the road signs from the old Church of Scotland in Carinish. The admission is free, and it is open at all times.
