Kilmory Lost Village, Scotland

Hi Steemians!


Hope you are all doing well, I know a lot of you enjoyed my recent post on the abandoned village so I thought I would share this other small trip I took to another one! Kilmory Oib Village is not far from the ancient site of Kilmartin near Lochgilpead. It was left abandoned sometimes during the mediaeval period. There is a well in the center that has been decorated with crosses on both sides which have been thought to either be the sun or moon or even some birds or animals. Again it was so strange walking around a village that we knew had been left, and possibly in sad cases left in not so good terms. It was amazing seeing what has been preseved for so long. And as these sites aren't labelled on main roads they really have been preseved as best as they can. Only weather has really got to them over time. It was amazing to see the little windows that the settlers had made out of the stone walls. And again what amazing views they had! I hope you all enjoy looking at these photographs!
