Pebble maze, Port na Curaich

Uploader's Comments

Someone has spent a lot of time and effort to create a maze from pebbles at Columba's Bay. The design is similar to those seen in some cathedrals [Chartres?] and may have some religious significance. Nearby are some large piles of pebbles. It is said that in the past monks from the abbey created stone piles, the height and size relative to the magnitude of their sins. Either they must have sinned for a very long time, or someone has been carrying on the tradition.
