Govan Head

A wild and windy place.  Very stark but in a strange way also very beautiful.

St. Govan, who was he?  This chapel was built over the entrance to a fissure, not even a cave,  where the hermit, Govan, lived.  Lots of legends but few hard facts.  The chapel dates from the 14th century.

A bleak place to set up home, even today.
