Interesting facts about this location
Teampall Mholuaidh
St Moluag's church is a 13th Century temple in the village of Eoropie in Ness in the Isle of Lewis in Scotland. The church has a basic T shaped structure, with two small chapels on either side of the main body of the church. The southern chapel can only be accessed from outside. There is a lot of speculation about the ancient origins of this place of worship; one tradition tells that St Ronan founded the church, before retiring to the Isle of Rona (in legend travelling on the back of a whale).
