The outdoor service on the site of St Columba’s footprint, just west of Keil about half-a-mile from Southend village, marked 1455 years since the Irish missionary landed in Kintyre.
Reverend Steve Fulcher said: ‘Thankyou to everyone who worked so hard to put it together.’
Piper, Fraser MacBrayne, 15, from the village, will lead the celebration of the 6th century saint, St Columba, at Keil, Southend, this Sunday from 7pm.
