Teampull na Trionaid (Trinity Temple Carinish)

Teampull na Trionaid (Trinity Temple) is a ruined medieval church at Carinish in the south of North Uist. Tradition credits its founding in the early 13th century to Beathag, daughter of Somerled and prioress of Iona, and it is said to have been rebuilt in the 14th century by Amie MacRuari, wife of John of Islay, Lord of the Isles.

The remains include the church, a smaller adjoining building known as Teampull Clann a' Phiocair, and a burial ground still in use. The site is on a low rise a short walk from the A865 at Carinish, and Historic Environment Scotland records it under Canmore ID 10265.
