St. Columba's Isle, Snizort.
This small island in the River Snizort is an ancient and important religious site in the west of Scotland.
In this beautiful spot, known as Eilean Chaluin Chille, the Island of Columba's Church, was the cathedral church of the Bishops of the Isles 1079-1498.
It is just seaward of the road bridge across the river. Access is off the minor road to Tote & Crepigill from the main Portree-Dunvegan road.

I hope to visit there 6-9th August we are from New Zealand. My 3x great Grandfather lived and died 1874 at 50 Tote House he was 92, his name was Martin Martin wife I believe was Isabella daughter Janet Martin. What I really would like to know is if the house is still standing.

Hello Sandi

According to the census, Martin Martin was a sizeable farmer rather than a crofter, so there's a good chance that his house would survive.
