Contin Island
Contin Island is an inhabited riverine islet in Ross and Cromarty within the Highland Council area of Scotland. Located in the Black Water, a tributary of the River Conon, it is downstream from Rogie Falls and is connected to the village of Contin by both a road bridge and a footbridge.〔
==Geography==
The island is flat and lies between two arms of the Black Water. It is wooded at the northern and southern ends and at the center is the parish church of Contin, dedicated to St Maelrubha or Máel Ruba and the old manse, surrounded by farm land. There has probably been a church on this site since the 7th or 8th century and there is a reference to it in 1227. The present church building dates from 1490, the former church having been burned by the MacDonalds sometime between 1482 and 1488. It was repaired and altered circa 1832. There are two stones in the churchyard dating to about 1200.〔〔("Contin Church" ). Contin: Highland Village. Retrieved 11 August 2012.〕〔("Contin, Church of Scotland Parish Church" ). Canmore.

The church itself is constructed with rubble walls and a slate roof and the 19th century reconstruction was done to the design of William Thomson. It has arched doors, windows with lattice glazing and a birdcage bellcote on the west gable.〔("Strathconon Parish Church" ). Scottish Church Heritage Research. Retrieved 11 August 2012.〕
The manse, constructed in 1794 and enlarged in the 19th century, is located to the south of the church.〔New Statistical Account xiv p. 242〕 It is now a private dwelling.
