Even after a mission was built on Rona in 1912, local tradition dictated that babies were baptised in the cavern, which boasts an entrance like a Gothic arch, a stone pillar which doubles as a pulpit beside which is a natural font fed by drips of water from the roof.
Rona, which probably derives its name from the Old Norse hraun-¿y, meaning rough island, is first recorded in 1518 as being under the yoke of Calum Garbh, or Lusty Malcolm MacLeod, who struck a deal with the pirates then operating in the Sound of Raasay.
South Rona, as it is sometimes known to distinguish it from its namesake to the northeast of Lewis, was in the MacLeod family until the mid-19th century.
