St Callans by Chris Cogan, Muie
Location
There are two graveyards – at St Callan’s kirkyard (map ref NC 73860 03509) and the new cemetery which lies to its north (map ref NC 73829 03679). To get there from the A839 at Pittentrail take the road opposite the war memorial, which is signposted to Rhilochan and Balnacoil, for about 1.5 miles. You will see St Callan’s Church on the right hand side and the new cemetery about 200 meters beyond, on the left hand side.

Acknowledgement
We are enormously grateful to the late Christine Stokes for all the work she did photographing* and recording hundreds of inscriptions of graves that can be found in the churchyard at St Callan’s and the new cemetery. This page is a result of that hard work.
Illegible stones are not included – only those which have an inscription which can be deciphered. If you have any photographs of missing stones please contact us and we will add them to the database.
Please note that with all our inscriptions all Mc and Mac names are shown as Mac. This facilitates easier indexing and searching.
