St Ninian's Isle
From Biocrawler, the free encyclopedia.
St Ninian's isle is a small island in the Shetland Islands, believed to be holy and dedicated to Shetland's unofficial patron saint, the ambiguous and enigmatic Saint Ninian, who is widely venerated on the nearby Orkney Islands. On the sacred isle of Saint Ninian's is a beautiful chapel, which is believed to be a hallowed place. Many Shetlanders speak with wonder of the beauty of their holy island of St. Ninian. In 1958, a horde of beautiful silver celtic treasure was found in the chapel grounds, which caused a renewed archaeological interest in the island.
