If one wanders amongst the tranquility of this beautiful scene, one will find mementos of past residents of Kilmory. In the old graveyard, one stone tells the tale of the Matheson family, who lost six of their children, aged seven months to 17 years, to diphtheria over a three day period in 1873. Soon after they departed for New Zealand. There are outline remains of blackhouses, homes of islanders cleared in the late 1820s. The lazybeds, raised rows of earth they tilled for sustenance, are still visible across Kilmory Glen. North, across the sea, can be seen the four square mile island of Soay (Sheep Island), with the awe inspiring Skye Cuillin beyond. Here 12 Monros, peaks over 914 metres (3,000 feet), throw out their challenge to climbers from around the world.
