Scope and Contents
Note about a stone possibly at the site of the chapel on Bernera Island, Lios Mòr/Lismore called 'Clach Gill'oar' on which one could stand and on calling 'Gill'oar' would hear an echo. The same thing would happen when standing in 'Seomar Gill'oar'. Carmichael writes that 'Scholars used to come to do this'. The site is described as being on the south east side noting that no bits of statues were ever found and that the roof was supposed to have been made of stone.
