Bonamargy Friary
The ruins of this Franciscan Friary, founded in the 1500s by Rory McQuillan are a popular place for visitors who enjoy a bit of history and superstition. There are many remarkable features which still remain and many graves dating back centuries, including a small unmarked cross which is said to be the grave of Julia McQuillan, The 'Black Nun', who lived here in the 17th century who is said to have predicted many future events including the eruption of Knocklayde.
