In 1887 Archibald MacKinnon, a local Campbeltown art teacher, had a vision in which he was instructed to paint a depiction of the crucifixion in a cave on Davaar Island. He secretly entered a cave and adorned one of its rocky walls with the image he dreamt.

But his secrecy may not have been wise. When local fishermen came across the painting, they thought the artwork was a miracle, a sign from God. After the townsfolk discovered that the artist was MacKinnon, a mere mortal and not a divine being, they were so angry they drove him out of town.

MacKinnon was eventually allowed back, though, as he has twice restored the original work. Today, local artists help look after the painting.

Access to the cave is tricky but doable and well worth attempting if you are in the area. The tiny island is linked to the mainland by a natural shingle causeway that only appears at low tide.
