Loch Eynort, St Maelrubha's Church, Chapel and Burial Ground is a medieval religious site located in Inverness-shire, Scotland, dedicated to the early Christian saint Maelrubha, an Irish monk who founded important monastic establishments in the Scottish Highlands during the seventh century. The site comprises the remains of a church or chapel structure alongside its associated burial ground, reflecting the long-standing spiritual and commemorative significance of the location within the local community. The dedication to St Maelrubha suggests continuity of Christian worship and veneration at this location from the early medieval period onwards, though the standing structures visible today likely represent rebuilding or modification from the medieval period proper. Such chapel and burial ground combinations were characteristic of the religious landscape of the Scottish Highlands, serving local populations as centres of worship and places for Christian burial.
