Kildalton Cross

Kildalton is a parish on the isle of Islay, Argyllshire, 14 miles south-east from Bowmore; containing Port Ellen and The Oa. This parish, which is supposed to have taken its name from one of the step-sons of the MacDonalds, who was buried in the church, is situated in the south-eastern portion of the isle of Islay, and is bounded on the north-east by the sound of Islay, and on the south-west by the Atlantic Ocean.

Islay Airport is situated on the west coast of Kildalton, just off the A846 road form Port Ellen to Bowmore.
