Fionnphort Graveyard offers a tranquil and historically rich site at the western tip of the Ross of Mull. Though its current layout is a rectangular enclosure divided into older eastern and more recent western sections, its heritage stretches back to Early Christian times. This ancient lineage is confirmed by several early grave-markers found within the grounds, notably stones adorned with incised crosses that speak to centuries of spiritual practice on the island. The peaceful setting allows visitors a moment of contemplation amidst the backdrop of Fionnphort, the bustling ferry port to Iona.
The burial ground provides a tangible connection to the lives of past generations in Fionnphort and the surrounding area. While the earliest identifiable tombstones date from the early 18th century, the presence of older, re-used Early Christian stones signifies the continuous use of this consecrated ground over a vast span of time. The graveyard serves as a quiet testament to the enduring communities of the Ross of Mull, many of whom would have lived in the shadow of Iona’s spiritual significance, with its proximity to the Iona ferry highlighting this connection.
For those interested in local history and genealogy, the Fionnphort Graveyard presents an intriguing opportunity to explore the markers of past lives. Researchers, such as the Ross of Mull Historical Centre, have documented the site, creating resources that detail its burials and layout. This commitment to preserving the memory of those interred here, combined with its ancient roots and links to the spiritual heartland of Iona, makes Fionnphort Graveyard a poignant and historically significant destination on the Isle of Mull.
