Two colour photographs of the front and back of a crude wooden cross, hand-carved from a driftwood branch, probably pine. The back has been fashioned to hang flat on a wall. Found in the dunes at Salum Bay in 1998, it hung in ‘The Wee Church’ at Ruaig.
As there are no pine trees on Tiree, it is likely to have drifted there from Coll or Mull.
