Cill Ronain is a medieval chapel site located 380 metres north of Braigo on the island of Islay in Argyllshire, Scotland. The site represents a small religious settlement typical of the Early Christian and medieval periods in the Hebrides, when such chapels served as focal points for local communities and monastic activity. The chapel's name derives from Gaelic, reflecting the strong ecclesiastical heritage of the region during the medieval period. Like many small chapel sites in the Hebrides, Cill Ronain would have functioned as a place of worship and potentially as a burial ground for the surrounding settlements in its immediate hinterland.
