 Kiel Chapel and Burial Ground

Talk by Neil Malcolm

Ben Nevis Hotel, Fort William

Organised by Lochaber Local History Society. Free to members, small charge for non-members.

Kiel Chapel and burial ground is the little known spot in Duror where is buried James of the Glen - some would
say the martyr of the Appin Murder - hanged rightly or wrongly at the Ballachulish Narrows in 1792. This will give an insight into this rather secretive local site.
