Holy Isle, Firth of Clyde
The Holy Isle (Scottish Gaelic: ''Eilean MoLaise'') is one of a number of islands in the United Kingdom which go under the name "Holy Island". It is located in the Firth of Clyde off the west coast of central Scotland, inside Lamlash Bay on the larger island of Arran. The island is around long and around wide. Its highest point is the hill Mullach Mòr.
== History ==
The island has a long history as a sacred site, with a spring or Holy well held to have healing properties, the hermit cave of 6th Century monk Saint Molaise, and evidence of a 13th Century monastery. An old Gaelic name for the island was ''Eilean MoLaise'', Molaise's Island; this is the origin (via ''Elmolaise'' and ''Limolas'') of "Lamlash", the name of the village on Arran that faces Holy Island.
Some runic writing is to be found on the roof of St. Molaise's cave and a Viking fleet sheltered between Arran and Holy Isle before the Battle of Largs.
In 1549, Dean Monro wrote of the "little ile callit the yle of Molass, quherin there was foundit by Johne, Lord of the iles, ane monastry of friars, which is decayit."〔Monro (1549) "Molass" no. 5〕
