St Moluag (510-592), a contemporary of St Columba, founded a monastery on Lismore. In medieval times this small church was the cathedral for the scattered diocese of Argyll, since it was easier to get about by sea than by land. The present building is from 1749 but retains part of its 13th century predecessor, notably the doorways, sedilia (priests' seats), piscina (area for washing sacred vessels) and medieval grave slabs. It's now a Church of Scotland parish church and no longer a cathedral; the stain glass windows are modern.
St Moluag's Cathedral is a church located on the Scottish island of Lismore just off the coast of Oban. Despite its name it is no longer a cathedral as it is a church of the Church of Scotland. The present-day parish church of 1749 stands on the site of the choir of the abandoned 13th-century cathedral, incorporating much of its material, but wrapped in 18th-century design.

Small museum of island life, with cafe.
Scenic but scrappy ruins of a castle built in the 13th century over a Viking fortress - Caifen was a Danish prince. It's an oblong tower within a bailey of later date. The even scrappier ruins to its northeast are the Norse "Castle Rachal".
