Davaar Island
(Redirected from Davaar)
Davaar Island is located at the mouth of Campbeltown Loch off the east coast of Kintyre, in Argyll and Bute, Scotland. It is a tidal island, linked to the mainland by an natural shingle causeway near Campbeltown at low tide.
In 1854, a Lighthouse was built on the north of the island by the the lighthouse engineers David and Thomas Stevenson. The lighthouse was automated in 1983, and today, Davaar is only inhabited by sheep.
The island is also known for its seven caves, one of which contains a cave painting depicting a crucifixion, painted in secrecy by a local man in 1887 after a dream.
